2. Choose local meat

You can eat meat produced in Finland and Denmark with good conscience as its production methods are strictly regulated and responsible. In doing so, you are supporting the vitality of the local countryside.

3. Reduce food waste

Think about the right portion size and amount of food in advance. Wasted food is an unnecessary burden on the environment and your wallet. For example, on average Finnish households generate food waste of just over EUR 100 per person per year.
