Carbon Labelling of Food - 2nd July 2026
As interest in sustainable diets continues to grow, understanding the environmental impact of food choices is becoming increasingly important for dietitians. But what exactly is carbon labelling, how is it calculated, and what role can it play in supporting more sustainable dietary advice?
In this recorded webinar, Laura Kirwin, Sustainability and Regulatory Lead at Nutritics, provides an insightful introduction to carbon labelling of food. Laura explores how carbon footprints are measured and communicated, and discusses how dietitians can help individuals make informed choices that support both health and environmental sustainability.
Whether you are new to the topic or looking to build your knowledge, this session offers practical insights into an emerging area of dietetic practice and the role dietitians can play in supporting more sustainable food choices.
