Sustainable diets are designed in a way that it not only helps the individual, but also the environment as well as natural and human resources. Given the alarming climate change crisis, you’d be doing yourself and future generations a disservice if you didn’t give this a try.
This term was first seen in 1986 in a paper by Gussow & Clancy.
No, it’s still a complex term.
But here are some guidelines by WHO (World Health Organization) & FAO (Food and Agriculture Organisation)
Along with the above guidelines, the food system needs to be strong. Required changes should be made in production/packaging/ labelling and distribution levels.
Sustainable dietary practices will be only achieved if these guidelines are followed by each country and its people, it’s not an overnight change, but small steps daily will help us achieve this goal.
