What is Sustainable Nutrition? Sustainable nutrition is all about making food choices that are good for both your health and the planet. It focuses on eating foods that are nutritious, environmentally friendly and ethically produced, benefiting both you and the Earth. II. Why is it important? As our global population heads towards 9.6 billion by 2050, sustainable nutrition becomes crucial.

Sustainable nutrition aims to solve these issues, ensuring a healthier future for both people and the planet. III. The 4 main factors - Health: Eating nutrient-rich and minimally processed foods that support overall well-being. - Social: Ensuring fair labor practices, access to nutritious food for all and inclusive of cultural diversity in diets. - Economic: Supporting local economies, cutting down on food waste and choosing cost-effective food choices. - Ecological: Reducing environmental impact, preserving biodiversity and using resources wisely. IV. Few Benefits Switching to a sustainable diet has many benefits: - Help the planet: Eating sustainably means using less energy and water. - Protect nature: Choosing sustainable foods helps keep our planet diverse with lots of plants and animals. - Good for you: Eating healthy foods like fruits, veggies and whole grains makes you feel better. - Support your community: Buying food from local farmers helps people in your area.

Embracing sustainable nutrition this Earth Day: Why it’s important for all nutrition professionals 🌍 As we prepare to celebrate Earth Day at Eat Sustainably, it's a good time to reflect on the impact of sustainable nutrition on the health and well-being of individuals and communities, and why it’s EVERY nutrition professional’s business. Although Eat Sustainably specialises in empowering people to eat foods that improve health outcomes, while also better for the planet, the topic of sustainable nutrition is important for every nutrition professional. From paediatric dietitians to public health nutritionists and clinical researchers, prioritising foods that are better for the planet WILL improve health, wellbeing and food security. Why? Let us tell you a few reasons. 🧍🏽Health, well-being and financial benefits for clients and patients: By promoting the intake of locally sourced and seasonal produce, reducing reliance on highly processed and packaged foods, and advocating for plant-rich diets, we can empower individuals to make choices that nourish both their bodies and the environment. This can be done by creating healthier food environments or working individually with people. 🚜Community benefits: Supporting local farmers and food producers strengthens local economies, preserves cultural heritage, and connecting people to the land they’re on. When we teach people the skills to buy from local markets or from local food producers, we empower them to invest in the well-being of our communities. 🌾Supporting food security: Building resilient food systems is important for national food security. Diversifying our food sources, eating in season and reducing dependence on imported foods can reduce risks associated with disruptions in global supply chains. Sustainable practices enhance our ability to weather unforeseen challenges. 🗺️ Global Impact: Recommending sustainable food choices and practices contributes to the collective effort of reducing our environmental footprint on a global scale. Choosing more sustainable options reduces carbon footprint, promotes biodiversity conservation and protects ecosystems. It’s a tangible way for individuals to contribute to the broader movement toward environmental sustainability and combatting climate change. As nutrition professionals, we are in a unique position to promote sustainable nutrition practices. Together, we can achieve so much. #EarthDay #sustainablenutrition #healthycommunities #globalimpact #APD #nutritionprofessionals #RD

Two Dilemmas - One Solution… How can we provide enough nutrition for 8 billion people today and the 10 billion people in the years to come? And how can we increase food production without using more land or creating more harmful emissions? When researchers looked for ways to provide adequate nutrition, reduce health risks, and help sustain the limited resources of our planet, they found one effective strategy that could address these changes: plant-based diets, together with reduced food waste, adequate caloric intakes and the usage of more efficient agricultural practices. It turns out that many healthy choices can be sustainable, and many sustainable choices can be compatible with a balanced diet, too. So by looking for food options that share that common ground, we can make progress on both issues while meeting changing customer demands to keep your business strong. Click here and let’s take a look at how we define “healthy” and “sustainable” foods and where those areas can overlap: https://lnkd.in/ezB3Q5Gm #sustainability #food #hospitality #future

#sustainablenutrition - we can make meaningful impact on the #planetaryhealth through #eatinghabits and #foodchoices. Some excerpts from the article: "The crux of sustainable nutrition lies in its recognition that our dietary choices have far-reaching consequences on the health of the planet. This environmental imperative challenges us to adopt practices that not only sustain ourselves but also contribute positively to the ecosystems that support life on Earth." ".... sustainable nutrition is a holistic approach that transcends the mere act of eating for sustenance. It is rooted in three fundamental pillars: environmental responsibility, social equity, and economic viability." By practicing #consciousconsumption and sustainable #eatinghabits, all of us can positively contribute to "a healthier, more balanced world, creating a future where eating is seen as a conscious and meaningful part of our collective mission to create a more sustainable and more." #foodforthought #youarewhatyoueat #eatright #makeanimpact #ourchoicesourfuture

"Let’s be clear about one thing - animal protein may be the most efficient way to consuming quality protein but it most definitely is not exactly sustainable in terms of production. And this is why there’s such a strong push towards plant-based alternatives." "Also, meat and dairy companies are taking steps to become more sustainable. They recognize their impact on the environment and are acutely aware of (Asian) consumer sentiment towards sustainability in food and drink." Another great article by Ranjana Sundaresan for the latest newsletter Market Shake by GourmetPro.
