Intro to Smart Sustainable Nutrition

The Challenge
At SSN, we care about the environment, and we want to do our part to help preserve it.
Human nutrition places immense pressure on the world’s ecosystems. As the human population continues to grow, so does the need for intensive agriculture. Crops and livestock require land and water to turn into the food we eat every day. However, water covers about 71% of our planet, and 96.5% of that water isn’t suitable for animal consumption or crop irrigation due to its salty nature.
With limited access to land and freshwater, humans must start thinking about sustainable ways to feed ourselves.
The status quo is not an option! Our survival as a species depends on immediate change.
Global Nutrition Crisis
Humanity is also facing a double burden of malnutrition characterized by the coexistence of lack of proper nutrition along with overweight and obesity (i.e., diet-related noninfectious and non-transmissible diseases) within individuals, households, and populations.
