Eco-friendly Eating Habits
Eat for your health and the planet—choose local, plant-based, and less processed foods to reduce your carbon footprint.
As climate and health concerns grow, what we eat matters more than ever. Eco-eating—also called sustainable eating—focuses on plant-based, local, and minimally processed foods while limiting red meat and waste.
It’s about making good food choices for our bodies and the planet.
Unlike regular healthy eating, eco-eating adds an environmental lens. It looks at how food is grown, transported, and consumed, encouraging mindful, balanced habits that reduce our carbon footprint and promote well-being.
For nutritionist Geeta Karki, eco-eating is more than a diet—it’s a lifestyle of mindful nourishment. A clinical dietitian at Upendra Devkota Memorial National Institute of Neurological and Allied Sciences, she blends traditional food wisdom with modern nutrition science to help people eat healthier while protecting the environment.
