By enrolling in this course, participants will learn to align their eating habits with seasonal changes, gaining practical skills in choosing and preparing foods that are naturally available during different times of the year.
Adopting seasonal eating builds resilience by equipping practitioners with the ability to adapt to environmental changes, supporting the body's natural rhythms and enhancing its capacity to cope with stress and disease.
These insights can be implemented routinely by incorporating seasonal foods into daily meals and adjusting dietary choices and cooking methods to align with the natural produce available in each season.

Abstract: This paper explores the implications of eating seasonal food for various aspects of sustainability, including health, economics, and society. It discusses how eating globally and locally seasonal food has different impacts on health and environmental sustainability.
