"Human Health, Environment Sustainability, Food Security and Farmers Income Trade-offs in Global Diet Shifts" by Zong, Jian and Wei Xie Abstract Dietary shifts are crucial for human health and environmental sustainability in the process of food system transformation. Numerous dietary options have been proposed as guidelines for to foster healthier and more sustainable dietary transitions, e.g., The planetary health diet, The mediterranean diet, and The DASH diet. In addition to global and regional, national food-based dietary guidelines (FBDGs) offer context-specific advice on healthy diets, reflecting local culture, geography, and demographics. While many countries have developed such guidelines, actionable countries are those with the capacity to provide political and financial support for their implementation. However, identifying food choices that can simultaneously benefit the human health, environment, food security and farmers’ income is challenging. Debates around encouraging consumers in rich countries to reduce meat consumption for climate change and health benefits frequently raise concerns about potential economic impacts on farmers, especially those involved in livestock and feed crop production. Proposals promoting plant-based diets have been met with resistance, often perceived as threats to farming livelihoods and freedom of choice. Thus, fostering healthier and more sustainable dietary transitions must go hand-in-hand with measures supporting a fair transition to alleviate adverse impacts on affected food security and farmer, which is poorly understood in the literature. |
