This clear-sighted volume synthesizes wide-ranging knowledge of
human food consumption, food production systems, and sustainability
to offer methods of improving the impact of food choices on people
and the environment. The comprehensive coverage addresses myriad
challenges and paradoxes (e.g., health-conscious food choices that
put greater stress on the planet, hunger amidst plenty) associated
with the production of sustainable, nutritious food. Direct and
complex links between local and global issues are highlighted in
innovative approaches to transforming food production from the farm
to the table and from the policy desk to the real world. Chapters
identify, examine, and offer realistic recommendations for
achieving critical goals, among them: Supporting healthy people and
communities within planetary boundaries Reduction and prevention of
food waste Combining health and sustainability on the plate
"Serving sustainable and healthy food to consumers and decision
makers": from commitment to action. Investing in healthier and more
sustainable production. Ensuring a healthy sustainable diet is a
goal of all public policies. Towards Healthy and Sustainable Diets
is geared toward professionals and policymakers dealing with food,
nutrition, and environmental topics seeking new perspectives on
longstanding issues in these interrelated areas. It also makes a
suitable reference for students studying and conducting research in
these areas.
