Measurement of diets that are healthy, environmentally sustainable ... frontiersin.org Frontiers 3 facts

procedureThe research team developed 12 categories for environmental outcomes: climate change, land, water, energy, nitrogen or phosphorus, toxicity, eutrophication, composite environmental indicator, acidification, biodiversity, air pollution, or other.

referenceEnvironmental outcomes in sustainable diet studies, such as climate change, toxicity, and particulate matter pollution, are often estimated at the 'midpoint level' using life cycle assessment (LCA) terminology, which assesses impacts along the causal chain between resource use or emissions and final outcomes.

measurementIn the sustainable diets literature, studies examine environmental outcomes including toxicity (n=9, 6.8%), energy outcomes (n=7, 5.3%), eutrophication (n=7, 5.3%), air pollution (n=6, 4.5%), nitrogen or phosphorus-related outcomes (n=6, 4.5%), acidification (n=4, 3.0%), and biodiversity (n=2, 1.5%).
