Diet that contributes to the broader environmental and social sustainability
Sustainable diets are "dietary patterns that promote all dimensions of individuals’ health and wellbeing; have low environmental pressure and impact; are accessible, affordable, safe and equitable; and are culturally acceptable".[1][2] These diets are nutritious, eco-friendly, economically sustainable, and accessible to people of various socioeconomic backgrounds.[1] Sustainable diets attempt to address nutrient deficiencies (e.g., undernourishment) and excesses (e.g., obesity), while accounting for ecological phenomena such as climate change, loss of biodiversity and land degradation.[3] These diets are comparable to the climatarian diet, with the added domains of economic sustainability and accessibility.
