Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Promoting the transition towards healthy and sustainable diets is becoming increasingly urgent considering, on the one hand, the high rate of malnutrition in the global population, and on the other hand, the need to reduce the impact of the food system on the environment.
However, promoting this transition represents a complex issue, also considering that dietary patterns are not only about generating a low environmental impact in terms of gas emissions or land and water use but must also integrate nutritional, health, sociocultural, and economic aspects, as highlighted by the FAO and the World Health Organization.
This Special Issue welcomes papers focused on at least one of the many aspects of healthy and sustainable diets, their complex interactions, as well as on the numerous strategies that can be implemented to promote the transition towards these models and their impact in terms of nutritional, environmental, and economic sustainability. This may include, but is not limited to, educative initiatives as well as regulatory and policy tools that can be employed in different settings with the intention of fostering this transition.
Trials, narrative reviews, and systematic reviews with and without meta-analyses, as well as commentaries, are welcomed to be submitted to this Special Issue.
