Legumes: A Powerhouse of Health and Sustainability
Birte van Ittersum's Insights: More plant-based and less meat. This is the basis of the new Swedish dietary guidelines that will be presented in early 2025 by the National Food Agency. Ideally, we should eat legumes every day. By eating more legumes, such as yellow peas, lentils, and brown beans, and less fresh vegetables that are transported long distances, we can reduce our climate impact. The best option, of course, is if the legumes are grown in Sweden.
