Fresh fruit and vegetables have a positive impact both

fruit and vegetables, are at the base of the food pyramid
with the highest consumption recommendation coupled
with the lowest environmental impact among the food
categories.
For this reason promoting the consumption of fruit and
vegetables has a double value, both for our wellbeing
and for our planet.
