Sugar is sweet food

If you love sugar, you may not like this one. Sadly, sugar has one of the worst environmental footprints. WWF reveals that sugarcane is one of the most harmful crops for the planet2, as it replaces habitats rich in plant, insect, and animal life. 

Moreover, it requires the intensive use of land, water, and pesticides while causing soil erosion and deforestation.

Some deforested lands have lost their carbon content, and the carbon is now in the atmosphere, contributing to global warming. 

With this high climate impact, it is essential to look for a more sustainable sugar culture, including reducing our sugar consumption.
