Abstract

Generation Z, the largest population cohort on this planet, is already proving to be environmentally aware and socially active as demonstrated with its support for the climate strikes and other related movements. The chapter analyses how these young people engage with food and diets – issues that are gradually becoming a political, environmental, social, cultural and public health agenda. It describes the food choices of Generation Z posing the question whether there is a transitioning to a better planetary diet. Using empirical evidence from Australia the chapter describes some of the trends and lessons given by these young people concluding that they hold key answers about the planet’s future.
