World Eat For Good Day is a day that has been marked to encourage people to make simple food swaps to Future 50 Foods for a more sustainable planet. Foods like cauliflower, lentils and mushrooms.

Knorr has developed a selection of recipes featuring Future 50 Foods, a list of foods developed by Knorr and WWF that we should all eat more of because they are naturally nutritious, have a lower impact on our planet than animal-based foods, and can help safeguard the future of our food.
