Question

which of these changes to a modern lifestyle would promote the development of more sustainable practices in the world food system?
a. buying fresh fruit all year long
b. eating more processed foods
c. eating only seasonal vegetables
d. switching from chicken to beef

Explanation:

Eating only seasonal vegetables reduces the need for long - distance transportation, energy - intensive greenhouse production, and artificial ripening. Buying fresh fruit all year long may involve large - scale cold - storage and long - distance shipping. Eating more processed foods often leads to more packaging waste and higher energy consumption in production. Switching from chicken to beef is less sustainable as beef production has a higher environmental impact in terms of land use, water consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions.

Answer:

C. Eating only seasonal vegetables
