Sustainable food in healthcare is steadily progressing - but whilst there is continuing momentum to build a more sustainable future, there are still many challenges and barriers to healthcare’s procurement of sustainable and healthy food, as well as prevention and reduction of food waste.
Through implementing healthy and sustainable food policies and practices, healthcare facilities can not only protect the environment and the health of communities, but also support local economies and educate employees, patients, and families about healthy eating.
Healthcare facilities have an important role to play in creating healthier and sustainable food systems that guarantee environmental stewardship, maintenance of local economies, animal welfare, and protection of health and wellbeing for all citizens.
We therefore encourage YOU to take action and become part of the global sustainable healthcare movement by leading the change towards sustainable food policies at your healthcare facility. Join HCWH Europe and the Global Green and Healthy Hospitals (GGHH) network to share, learn, and connect with other sustainable healthcare leaders.
