Live Cook-Along Iftar
Our food choices can make a positive difference to people and nature – improving our own health, the health of others, and the health of the planet. But over-dependence on select foods, a lack of diversity in our diets and the continued consumption of unsustainably produced items have a harmful impact on nature.
One of today’s biggest challenges is the increasing consumption of meat. Meat contributes important nutrients to the human diet, but today we eat more meat than recommended by the World Health Organisation and what is sustainable for the planet.
This Ramadan, we've partnered up with Zeina Maktabi from @upcloseandhealthy to teach you how to make a plant-based iftar meal.
