Peanuts or almonds? Rice or millet? Planet-friendly grocery shopping choices go beyond cutting meat

  • In 2024, South Korea experienced a rise in the number of retailers offering eco-friendly products, reaching 6,099, although total sales declined by 158.3 billion won, ending at 2.04 trillion won.
  • This decline happened amid higher prices compared to conventional foods, which 65.1% of consumers cited as the main barrier to buying eco-friendly products.
  • Experts highlighted that meat-rich diets produce emissions four times higher than vegan diets, while diverse plant-based diets support resilient, biodiverse agriculture and healthier soil.
  • A Tulane University study found peanuts have similar emissions to almonds but use 30% less water, and local truck emissions impact climate more than international shipping.
  • The ministry plans subsidies and discounts to lower costs, aiming to increase eco-friendly food adoption despite current market challenges and consumer price sensitivity.
