The findings revealed that 31 percent of global respondents who said they changed their diet in the past two years did so for a variety of environmental reasons. These reasons include to eat more sustainably sourced food (17 percent), to reduce climate change impact (11 percent), and to protect oceans (nine percent).
The report was conducted by independent insights consultancy GlobeScan for the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC). It highlighted that California had the highest number of consumers reporting changing their diets for environmental reasons at 40 percent. The Pacific Northwesterners came a close second at 39 percent.

“Today’s consumers are challenged by what may seem like competing priorities – shopping to decrease impact on the environment, purchasing healthy options and staying on budget,” said Nicole Condon, US Program Director for the MSC.
To aid consumers in their pursuit for sustainable food, the MSC has highlighted the benefits of- eating seafood. A recent Oceana report revealed that seafood harvesting produces less carbon than the production of meat. For this reason, seafood may be a good option for those who want to make a positive environmental impact even when shopping on a budget.
