This dashboard displays data from our Sustainability Tracker, a yearly survey with around 2,000 UK adults a year, sampled and weighted to represent the UK population.

This page includes data on;

  • How often UK adults do certain sustainable food behaviours,
  • Barriers to them further reducing their food waste,
  • Barriers to them composting or recycling their leftover food more often, and 
  • Barriers to them eating less meat and dairy.
