A survey conducted in 2020 revealed that a combined 51 percent of the respondents who lived on their own in the United Kingdom (UK) disagreed that they grew their own food in their garden or allotment to make the planet more sustainable, compared to 44 percent of the respondents from households with more five members. A share of nine percent of the respondents who lived with two other people strongly agreed with this statement.
