Lonely Planet, one of the biggest travel guide book publisher worldwide, has voted Greece as the ultimate Sustainable Food Destination for 2021<\/b>!<\/a><\/p>\n

No wonder why, as \u2018\u2019Greeks have been green for centuries\u2019\u2019, as the author Kate Armstrong writes in her article that is published recently.<\/p>\n

And it is true that in Greece it is common to grow your own garden and eat seasonal, local food. But, is local and seasonal food always sustainable?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Sustainable food is grown or raised by regenerative methods and practices. <\/p>\n

This means that a sustainable diet is organic, healthy, and environmentally responsible. <\/p>\n

Sustainable agriculture suggests an ethical and efficient food system for the farmer, the earth, and society as a whole. <\/p>\n

The basis of this type of agriculture is the use of sustainable seeds (non-hybrid) and green gardening solutions, and adopt a less animal-based diet.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Greece has always had a farm-to-table lifestyle which reflects on the social, environmental and economical dimension of the country. <\/p>\n

Nowadays, there are many farmers in Greece who engage in regenerative practices. <\/p>\n

Their products are ecological, and their sustainable approach to agriculture has a social and economical impact in the societies. <\/p>\n

It is very common to eat in a Greek tavern an omelette made with \u201cfree-range\u201d eggs. In this case. The eggs that you are eating are coming from chicken that is raised outdoors and not housed in a building. <\/p>\n

It is usual as well, to walk among chicken, or hens, even among a cattle of cows and wandering goats in the rural areas in Greece.<\/p>\n

Sustainable food system emphasizes on animal welfare. Free-range farming allows the animals to freely exhibit natural behaviours and have access to the outdoors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
