The global sustainability initiative, ‘Eat for Impact’ is birthing in the Federal Capital Territory (FCT), with restaurants and government officials aiming to improve planet-conscious options.
  
Consequently, local leaders and businesses are stepping up to encourage the entire city to combat climate change with diet change, backed by all-new, delicious menu items at favourite restaurants. 
 
Community leader, Christopher Isu, is leading the initiative, designed to reduce Abuja’s greenhouse gas emissions by creating greater access to plant-based foods across the city throughout March.
  
Local restaurants, Top7 Orlando, The Churchill Hotel, and Tastia Restaurant, have created exclusive dishes that promote a healthier, more sustainable food system, which would be on their menus all month, and are being amplified by local influencers.
   
The restaurants would add two or more pro-climate dishes to their menus, and at the end of the month, a comprehensive climate report would be published about their impact. The report will highlight the greenhouse gas savings from all participants, including restaurant sales, and any additional food-related efforts from partners like climate offices, community events, and local businesses.
  
Each featured meal reduces environmental impact while showcasing the creativity of plant-based ingredients. To further support the initiative in Abuja, community leaders, throughout the city, have endorsed the ‘Eat for Impact’ initiative as well.
   
“Supporting plant-based eating is one of the most impactful steps we can take as a country, as a nation to reduce our environmental footprint, and I am proud to endorse Eat for Impact,” said  Terseer Ugbor, Member of the House of Representatives and Deputy Chairman, Committee on Environment.
