We know that eating a plant-rich diet is critical for the planet. But people make food decisions based on a lot of factors – many of which are subconsciously influenced by dining environments.

WRI’s Food Service Playbook for Promoting Sustainable Food Choices gives food service operators an in-depth look at the latest research on how small changes to things like the dining environment, food preparation, and menu layout can impact whether diners choose plant-rich dishes. This Playbook outlines 90 strategies to boost demand for plant-rich dishes, but it can be difficult to know just where to start.

The Most Impactful Things You Can Do for the Climate Aren’t What You’ve Been Told

Our data shows that pro-climate behavior changes, such as driving less or eating less meat, could theoretically cancel out all the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions an average person produces each year1 — specifically among high-income, high-emitting populations.

But it also reveals that efforts focused exclusively on changing behaviors, and not the overarching systems around them, only achieve about one-tenth of this emissions-reduction potential. The remaining 90% stays locked away, dependent on governments, businesses and our own collective action to make sustainable choices more accessible for everyone.
