Abstract

The need to ensure sufficient nutritious diets for all the world’s people without putting further undue pressure on the environmentNatural environment presents a monumental challenge for the global community. Food systems depend on natural resources and the environment, yet agricultureFood production agriculture and farming is a major driver of environmental degradation and climate change. Given the impending challenges posed by population growth, migration, and climate change, securing a sustainable future will require dietary patterns to shift significantly over the coming decades. The concept of “sustainable diets” attempts to achieve these goals by bridging the divide between agriculture and the environment. This chapter discusses the history of sustainable diets, as well as the health and environmental outcomes, ethical conundrums, research limitations, and policy implications associated with these diets.
