Why Eat Sustainably exists
Eat Sustainably is a trusted, evidence-based source of sustainable eating guidance, created by dietitian and researcher Dr Amelia Harray to help busy people eat in a way that's good for their health and good for the planet.
Why? Around a third of the world's greenhouse gas emissions come from food, and poor diet is one of the leading preventable contributors to chronic disease, the biggest cause of death in Australia and across the Western world. People want to eat well and do right by the environment, but they don't know who to trust for nutrition advice online. Many also assume that eating sustainably takes too much time, or that you have to be vegan or vegetarian to do it. Neither is true.
The science is clear that eating more whole plant foods is good for your physical and mental health. Eat Sustainably turns that science into something you can actually use, with free, evidence-based guidance you can follow in your own time, and the tools to help you decide what to put on the table, in the trolley and in the lunchbox.
Eat Sustainably is committed to learning from the traditional owners of the Whadjuk Boodja on which it was created, whose knowledge, wisdom and ability to live sustainably benefit all Australians
About The Founder
Dr Amelia Harray is the Founder of Eat Sustainably and has spent her life immersed in food, at home and at work. She's an Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitian, Accredited Nutritionist and clinical researcher.
Amelia grew up in Perth, in a home where delicious vegetarian meals were made with real care. At four years old she was helping pack her own lunchbox, and she has loved sharing food ever since. Her appreciation of clean flavours and fresh vegetables came from her mother and Belgian grandmother, who introduced her to local seasonal foods.
Amelia spent three years living in Northern Italy and the UK, exploring different cultures and ways of eating. She returned to Australia on a mission to understand the science behind why diets vary so widely and affect health in such different ways.
After graduating and working in clinical dietetics, she earned a PhD in healthy and environmentally sustainable diets, a topic in her DNA.
A lifelong vegetarian, Amelia married a New Zealand dairy farmer, who has since discovered just how good plant-rich meals can be. Between two vegetarian and two meat-eating kids, feeding her family is all about blending tastes and a shared love of good food, so everyone leaves the table happy.
Amelia's mission is to help everyday people eat more sustainably, for their own health and for the planet.

Working with organisations
The way we shop, store, cook and eat accounts for 5–10% of Australia's greenhouse gas emissions, roughly the same as every car on the road. That makes everyday food choices one of the most powerful, and most overlooked, levers a workplace has for improving both employee health and its environmental footprint.
Dr Amelia Harray works with workplaces and brands on keynotes, presentations, nutritionist-in-residence partnerships, and menu and catering reviews, helping teams eat in a way that's better for their health and the planet. It's an approach grounded in research and aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals, so your organisation can support its people and its sustainability goals at the same time.
Led by Dr Amelia Harray, PhD, a dietitian, researcher and trusted media voice on sustainable eating.
