(HealthDay News) — Sustainable eating practices — knowing where food comes from and how to sustain the sources — helps us plan for now and the future, says the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

Looking past the supermarket shelf and learning how your food is produced is a first step.

The school suggests:

  • Plan your meals around vegetables and fruit.
  • Minimize the amount of meat you eat.
  • Choose seafood that isn’t at risk of being overfished.
  • Look for local produce at farmer’s markets.
