EcoBiteLife publishes practical guides to eating more sustainably without guilt, jargon, or perfectionism. This page explains who stands behind the site, how our guides are researched and checked, how we handle corrections, and where our money comes from. We would rather tell you plainly than have you guess.
Who is behind EcoBiteLife
Our guides are produced and maintained by the EcoBiteLife editorial desk. Rather than attaching a personal brand to each article, we publish under one editorial identity that is accountable for everything on the site: the research behind a guide, the sources it rests on, and any correction it later needs. The desk covers six focus areas, and holds every guide in each of them to the same standard.
- Low-Waste Kitchen Routines — composting, storage, and habits that cut everyday food waste.
- Sustainable Grocery Habits — shopping that saves money and waste without a big lifestyle change.
- Seasonal & Local Eating — eating with the seasons in a way that fits an ordinary week.
- Ethical Food Awareness — reading labels honestly and understanding where food comes from.
- Beginner Healthy Food Habits — small, realistic changes for people who are just starting.
- Sustainable Family Food Living — feeding a household without losing every weeknight to it.
How we research and check our guides
Our guides are built on primary sources, not on each other. When a guide states a fact about food safety, nutrition, waste, or the environment, we trace it to a named authority rather than to a number that merely sounds right.
- Named sources only. We cite bodies such as the USDA and its food safety service, the EPA, the WHO, UN Environment, the FAO, and the FTC. Where a claim cannot be tied to a source like these, we either qualify it as general guidance or leave it out.
- No invented statistics. We do not publish precise-sounding figures we cannot support. If we cannot show where a number comes from, it does not appear as a fact.
- Reviewed before publishing. Every guide is checked against its sources and edited before it goes live.
- Kept current. When guidance from those bodies changes, or a reader shows us something is out of date, we update the guide and its published date reflects the edit.
How our guides are produced
We use modern writing tools, including AI assistance, to help draft and structure our guides. Nothing is published on that basis alone. Every guide is checked against its primary sources, edited, and reviewed by the editorial desk before it appears. We think being open about this is part of earning your trust, rather than something to hide.
Corrections
We treat factual errors seriously. If you spot something wrong, send the page address and the correction to our editorial inbox and we will review it, normally within 48 hours. If we got something wrong, we fix it and note that the guide has been updated.
Independence, advertising, and partnerships
Our editorial judgment is not for sale. Advertising and any affiliate links are kept separate from the guidance we give, and never determine what we recommend. You can read the full detail on our Affiliate Disclosure page. We are selective about partnerships and only work with organisations whose standards on sustainable food match our own.
