On the critical issue of sustainable food, since food (preparation, provision) has always been an act of love and a gesture of solidarity, is the focus of this year's Earth Hour, which is today, 26 March, at 20:30.
At the same time, food is man's strongest link with nature, as eating habits and choices have a direct influence on the environment as a whole. Earth Hour, WWF's largest global participatory campaign for the environment, is in its 15th year and is a unique opportunity for millions of people around the world to unite their voices and send a clear message: "e want a sustainable future for all. We want a safe world where every person has an equal opportunity to fulfill their dreams."
As stated in a WWF statement, it is the Earth that provides everything humans need to survive, as valuable natural resources such as land and water are needed to produce food.
The modern food model is depleting the planet, the statement said, noting that the way food is produced today is the primary cause of biodiversity loss and is responsible for about 25% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions.
Already, thousands of citizens have signed up for Earth Hour, while dozens of organisations have responded to the call to turn off the lights for an hour and send their own message to protect the environment.
