Climate change is an ongoing and escalating health emergency. It threatens the wellbeing of billions people, through extreme weather events, displacement, food insecurity, pathogenic diseases, societal destabilisation, armed conflict. dwarfs all other challenges studied by psychologists. The greenhouse gas emissions driving climate disproportionately originate from actions wealthy populations in Global North are tied to excessive energy use overconsumption driven pursuit economic growth. Addressing this crisis requires significant transformations individual behaviour change. Most these changes will benefit not only stability but yield public co-benefits. Because their unique expertise skills, psychologists urgently needed crafting mitigation responses. We propose specific ways which at career stages can contribute, within spheres research, teaching, policy making, organisations as private citizens. As psychologists, we cannot sit back leave scientists. a emergency that results human behaviour; hence it our power responsibility address it.

Shifting to dietary patterns rich in plants and low animal-source foods could substantially lower emissions from the food sector while reducing global burden of non-communicable diseases. The EAT-Lancet Commission proposed planetary health diet (PHD) emphasise plant-forward diets set targets guide an urgently needed food-system transformation. However, PHD's meat-reduction approach has attracted criticism prompted debate on potential micronutrient shortfalls approach. Since planet simply cannot sustain human defaulting towards animal-based solutions, objective this Viewpoint is provide recommendations that address PHD, with emphasis plant-based sourcing food. Using a socioecological approach, along Integrative Sustainability Framework evaluate guidelines, we recommend seven key thematic areas for further development PHD. These themes relate bioavailability micronutrients foods, inclusion indigenous practices, fortification supplementation, cultural inclusiveness, gender-based differences, broader perspective processed strengthening concept by integrating One Health

One of the aims United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) is to end hunger and ensure access by all people safe, nutritious, sufficient food year round. An obvious synergy exists between second SDG “Zero Hunger” target 12.3 which focuses on halving waste reducing losses. In addition helping improve global security, provides financial environmental benefits. Upcycling a technical solution for reduction that retains nutritional value by-products. However, many upcycled foods produced are discretionary such as biscuits, crackers, other snack not part healthy dietary pattern, should only be eaten sometimes in small amounts. Given importance ensuring sustainable diet, this paper discusses opportunities manufacturers produce more nutritious products.

The health and environmental advantages of plant-predominant diets will likely lead to increasing numbers consumers reducing their reliance on animal products. Consequently, organizations professionals need provide guidance how best make this change. In many developed countries, nearly twice as much protein is derived from versus plant sources. Potential benefits could result consuming a higher share protein. Advice consume equal amounts each source more be embraced than advice eschew all or most However, the currently consumed comes refined grains, which unlikely associated with diets. contrast, legumes ample well other components such fiber, resistant starch, polyphenolics, are collectively thought exert benefits. But despite accolades endorsement by nutrition community, negligible contribution global intake, especially in countries. Furthermore, evidence suggests consumption cooked not substantially increase over next several decades. We argue here that plant-based meat alternatives (PBMAs) made viable alternative, complement, traditional manner. These products may accepted eaters because they can emulate orosensory properties functionality foods intended replace. PBMAs both transition maintenance facilitate diet it easier maintain. also have distinct advantage being able fortified shortfall nutrients Whether existing similar whole legumes, formulated do so, remains established.

The future of plant-based diets is a complex public health issue inextricably linked to planetary health. Shifting the world's population consume nutrient-rich, among most impactful strategies transition sustainable food systems feed 10 billion people by 2050. This review summarizes how international expert bodies define and describes types dietary patterns. It also explores type proportion plant- versus animal-source foods alternative proteins relate reduce diet-related morbidity mortality. Thereafter, we synthesize evidence for current challenges actions needed achieve patterns using conceptual framework with principles promote human health, ecological social equity, economic prosperity. We recommend governments, businesses, civil society encourage marketplace choices that lead plant-rich within healthy, equitable, resilient agroecological systems.

The plant-based meat analogue (PBMA) market in Australia is growing, as it globally, based on the potential of products' healthiness and sustainability. current commercially available PBMAs assessed sustainability followed by a comparison plant proteins which have demonstrated desirable functionality with those used PBMAs. Robust evidence supports claims over products. Regarding healthiness, macro scale, there nutritional equivalence; however, micro most commercial lack essential minerals vitamins (such iron vitamin B12). There low diversity PBMAs, poor representation numerous within scientific literature. This review highlights likely reasons limiting provides insights into how these products can fulfil their regarding healthiness.
