Sustainable diets transform the food system (book)
This book explores what is meant by sustainable diets and why this
has to be the goal for the Anthropocene, the current era in which human
activities are driving the mismatch of humans and the planet. Food
production and consumption are key drivers of transitions already
underway, yet policy makers hesitate to reshape public eating habits and
tackle the unsustainability of the global food system. The authors propose a multi-criteria approach to sustainable diets,
giving equal weight to nutrition and public health, the environment,
socio-cultural issues, food quality, economics and governance. This
six-pronged approach to sustainable diets brings order and rationality
to what either is seen as too complex to handle or is addressed
simplistically and ineffectually.
