Future 50 Salads

The future 50 foods identify 50 plant-based foods that can increase dietary nutritional value and reduce environmental impacts of the food supply. The focus is plant-based as animal-based foods have a more significant effect on the environment. Taking steps to incorporate more plant-based meals into people’s diet can have a favourable outcome for both customers and the planet.
