This book takes a transdisciplinary approach and considers multisectoral actions, integrating health, agriculture and environmental sector issues, to comprehensively explore the topic of sustainable diets. The team of international authors informs readers with arguments, challenges, perspectives, policies, actions and solutions on global topics that must be properly understood in order to be effectively addressed. They position issues of sustainable diets as central to the Earth’s future. Presenting the latest findings, they:

Explore the transition to sustainable diets within the context of sustainable food systems, addressing the right to food, and linking food security and nutrition to sustainability.

Convey the urgency of coordinated action, and consider how to engage multiple sectors in dialogue and joint research to tackle the pressing problems that have taken us to the edge, and beyond, of the planet’s limits to growth. 

Review tools, methods and indicators for assessing sustainable diets.

Describe lessons learned from case studies on both traditional food systems and current dietary challenges.

As an affiliated project of the United Nations One Planet Sustainable Food Systems Programme, this book provides a way forward for achieving global and local targets, including the Sustainable Development Goals and the United Nations Decade of Action on Nutrition commitments.

This resource is essential reading for scientists, practitioners, and students in the fields of nutrition science, food science, environmental sciences, agricultural sciences, development studies, food studies, public health, and food policy.
