reknowable_resources Animal-based foods require more cropland to grow feed, pastures for grazing, and water from irrigation than plant-based alternatives. The cultivation and production of animal products also create more greenhouse gas emissions—atmospheric carbon and methane that contribute to climate change—than plant-based options. One major step we can all take to reduce our environmental impact is adjusting our diets to be more plant-forward.

Choosing Coolfood meals is a great way to protect the environment while enjoying nutritious, filling, and enjoyable food—without necessarily giving up meat, eggs, or dairy. All Coolfood recipes—whether they’re vegan, vegetarian, or plant-forward—meet strict requirements to ensure they’re both low-impact and nutritionally sound.

Each Coolfood recipe has a 38% smaller carbon footprint than the average meal—enough of a difference at scale to help avoid the worst impacts of climate change by 2030. Coolfood meals are also higher in fiber and protein and lower in calories, saturated fat, total sugar, and sodium. Eating plant-forward with Coolfood is a small change that can greatly impact protecting our climate and natural resources.
