The federal government spends $9B on food every year.

The GHG footprint of those food purchases is equal to ALL of New Hampshire's energy-related emissions for a year 🤯

Here are 3 ways federal food purchasing could promote a more just, healthy & sustainable food system🧵 1) Shift to more plant-based foods
