New reports suggests 50 foods for a healthier planet

A new report called Future 50 Foods: 50 Foods for Healthier People & a Healthier Planet was recently launched in a joint effort by Knorr and World Wildlife Fund at a conference in Paris. The report states that 75% of the food we consume comes from just 12 plant sources and five animal sources. The campaign selected 50 foods that we must eat more of, based on their high nutritional value, low environmental impact, flavor, accessibility and affordability. It lists grains like fonio, various mushrooms, beans and pulses, nuts, tubers, algae and cacti. These foods will not only reduce land usage due to higher yield but can also withstand climate uncertainty.
