How Good Food Can Transform Health, Communities, and the Planet—Plus, a Delicious Cocktail Tip!

When we come together around our shared love for good food, we’re not just filling our plates—we’re nourishing our health, strengthening our communities, and protecting our planet. At DIG, we work with some of the most vulnerable producers in the world, but here’s a little secret: as consumers, you hold incredible power too. Together, we can demand a shift in the entire food system. By supporting and investing in sustainable, nutritious diets that make producers equal partners, we can help create a world where there’s enough to feed our growing global population, while safeguarding our planet for future generations.

Speaking of shaking things up, did you know the liquid from your can of chickpeas is called aquafaba? This humble liquid is a superstar egg white substitute you can use in baking, cooking, or anything that calls for egg whites. And get this: in a cocktail created especially for DIG by the fabulous Tiffanie Barriere, aka “The Drinking Coach,” we learn how shaken aquafaba adds a frothy, nutty lightness to a delicious vodka sour. Who knew chickpeas could be so versatile?

But why stop there? Take the no-waste challenge up a notch by repurposing those lemon peels from your cocktail. You can turn them into a natural cleaning solution or dehydrate them for a zesty tea. It’s a small step, but when we all make little changes like these, we contribute to something much bigger.  Each of us plays a part in building a sustainable future, one delicious recipe and shared moment at a time. So, let’s savor the taste of good food and strengthen our bonds with every shared meal.
