Measurement of diets that are healthy, environmentally sustainable ... frontiersin.org 11 facts
referenceThe paper 'Measurement of diets that are healthy, environmentally sustainable...' reviewed studies published between January 2015 and December 2021 that examined dietary patterns in relation to at least two of four thematic pillars: planetary health (climate change, environmental quality, natural resource impacts), human health and disease, economic outcomes (diet cost/affordability), and social outcomes (wages, working conditions, culturally relevant diets).
claimThe four major dimensions of sustainable healthy diets are planetary health, human health, economic outcomes, and social outcomes, though integrating all four into studies of dietary change remains a significant challenge.
claimThe paper (the source text) explores the extent to which recent literature integrates planetary health, human health, economic outcomes, and social outcomes in its analysis of dietary change.
claimThe literature linking dietary patterns to human and planetary health is expanding rapidly, with an increasing number of analyses integrating interactions across multiple domains.
claimResearch on the impacts of dietary patterns on human and planetary health is a rapidly growing field.
claimMany analyses of healthy diets claim 'global' implications despite significant variations in diets and disease patterns in regions like rural Africa or South Asia compared to the rest of the world.
claimResearch modeling the linkages between diets, health, and the environment has evolved from single-issue pairings, such as diet-climate or diet-disease, to complex modeling that integrates multiple interactions across various exposures and outcomes.
claimThere are significant methodological challenges in integrating the four fundamental facets of sustainability (environmental, health, economic, and social) where diets link human and planetary health.
claimDietary choices and food production processes impact human health outcomes and planetary health through greenhouse gas emissions, natural resource depletion, and biodiversity loss.
claimAuthors in most studies emphasize the importance of better defining optimal diets to guide policymakers in transforming food systems for improved human and planetary health.
claimResearch on the linkages between dietary patterns and human/planetary health informs policy-level actions and investments needed to meet climate-related emissions targets, tackle malnutrition, support 'nature positive' actions to preserve ecosystem services, and promote a just transition to inclusive food systems governance.
