Made to Sustain

Episode: Sustainable Food Made Simple, by Kelly D’Amico, is a practical and insightful guide that demystifies the concepts and practices of sustainable eating, empowering readers to make food choices that benefit both personal health and the planet. Drawing on her background in food science, nutrition, and sustainability, D’Amico breaks down complex topics—such as regenerative agriculture, reducing food waste, plant-forward meal planning, and mindful consumption—into accessible advice and actionable steps that fit into everyday life. Her approach emphasizes that sustainable food is not an abstract ideal but a set of attainable habits that can reduce environmental impact while supporting local economies and nutrition goals. By combining evidence-based guidance with real-world examples and simple meal strategies, this book equips readers to understand how the food system affects climate, community, and well-being, and to take concrete steps toward eating in a way that sustains both themselves and the world around them.
