Food carbon Footprint labels
Understand and showcase the carbon footprint of your food!
Food carbon footprint labels for recipe blogs
Nutritional labels educate us about the health impact of different foods, influencing the choices we make.
We offer the same for food emissons. For the first time, food bloggers can now display the carbon footprint of their recipes, sharing the climate benefits of their food.
What’s the carbon footprint of your recipes?
People want to find low carbon food. Will you help them?
of all greenhouse gas emissions comes from food. This makes food the second biggest contributor to global emissions.
About two-thirds of consumers would like to see carbon labels for food, which will help them make more sustainable choices.
More than 80% of people say they consider the environment when making a decision or purchase.
Our goal: to Educate and Empower
Declare a climate emergency
The IPCC has warned that a rise of 1.5C in global temperatures would be devastating. We are nearing 1.5C, and it's time to declare a climate emergency.
Transparent & accessible data
Climate data should be clear and accessible. People should be able to see the climate impact of their decisions and purchases.
Empower people to respond
Making environmental information clear and accessible will empower people to make more sustainable choices.
As awareness of the climate emergency grows, people increasingly want to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
However, without clear environmental information it’s hard for people to know the best ways to reduce their impact on the climate.
Our carbon labels educates you and your users about the climate impact of your food. The values and analysis empowers you to improve the sustainability of your food, and allows you to clearly communicate this to your users.
Find out about us from the first blog to display food carbon footprint labels
On 15th October 2020, Elizabeth’s Kitchen Diary became the first food blog to add carbon labels to all their recipes.
We talked with Elizabeth about the labels; you can read our interview with her here.
See how it's calculated
Eating sustainably is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint!
Our food carbon footprint calculator estimates the climate impact of recipes, or a day’s food. All results are displayed as a percentage of the fair daily amount, helping you to find low carbon food and make more sustainable choices!
