Sustainable Nutrition: an answer to global challenges

Sustainable Nutrition has the potential to cope with various global challenges in the field of nutrition, some of which are reinforced by our food habits. Examples are climate change, energy supply and increasing energy prices, soil degradation, loss of biodiversity, problems due to livestock breeding and feeding, as well as the pollution of air, water and soil. Especially in low-income countries the challenges are persistent hunger, food insecurity, water scarcity, poverty, unfair economic conditions etc.

The seven principles of Sustainable Nutrition

1. preference of plant-based foods

2. organic foods

3. regional and seasonal products

4. preference of minimally processed foods

5. Fair Trade products

6. resource saving housekeeping

7. enjoyable eating culture.
