The state of play
How we produce and consume food has a huge bearing on climate change, biodiversity and land and water use. Transport and packaging are important factors, so local and recyclable or no packaging is absolutely a good thing.
You might be surprised to learn that agriculture actually represents the biggest impact of all. In fact 80% of the impact comes from the production of food.
Not always apples for apples
The problem is that it's not black and white. It's not about one food item being good and one being bad. Its about the context in which they're grown and the resources required to produce them.
In other words, how they're farmed. Some farming techniques use a lot more water and land than another.
