Britain has enhanced its campaigns to increase people’s awareness of the environment impacts of their diet, as part of its overall efforts to build a greener society with ambitious emissions-cutting targets.

The campaign has won support from the government, business, NGOs, research groups and culinary circles.
However, more efforts have been urged to help consumers better understand the benefits of similar ethical dietary choices to stimulate them to adopt greener lifestyles.
