Sustainable Gastronomy Day

Every June 18, the world celebrates Sustainable Gastronomy Day, a date established by the United Nations to promote food systems that contribute to sustainable development, protect natural resources, and encourage more responsible consumption habits.

What is sustainable gastronomy?

Sustainable gastronomy promotes practices that reduce the environmental impact of food, from farm production to final consumption.

This includes:

Efficient use of natural resources.
Reducing food waste.
Responsible production.
Eating foods with a lower environmental impact.
Transparent information for consumers.

We now know that our food choices have direct effects on the climate, water use, soil, and biodiversity.

The challenge of measuring food's impact

While more and more people want to shop consciously, it's often hard to know the real environmental impact of products.

Two similar foods can generate very different emissions depending on their origin, production process, transportation, or ingredients.

That's why having reliable, measurable information is essential to moving toward more sustainable food systems.

Our contribution:

At ClearPrint, we help food companies measure the carbon footprint of their products using methodologies based on international standards such as ISO 14067 and ISO 14040/44.

With our solutions, companies can:

✅ Identify the stages with the highest emissions.

✅ Spot opportunities to improve their processes.

✅ Reduce their environmental impact.

✅ Communicate transparent information through eco-labels.

This information helps producers, brands, and consumers make decisions based on real, verifiable data.

Sustainability starts on our plates too

Sustainable gastronomy doesn't mean giving up the foods we love. It's about having better information to make more conscious decisions and support food systems that respect planetary boundaries.

Knowing the carbon footprint of food is an important step toward a more sustainable, transparent, and responsible food system.

This Sustainable Gastronomy Day, we reaffirm our commitment to measuring and communicating the environmental impact of food, helping turn every purchase decision into an opportunity for positive change.
