Dietary patterns and their possible effects on health the environment are becoming increasingly important. It is thought that nutritionally balanced diets can also be compatible with environmental targets and, therefore, Mediterranean diet (MD), which regarded as a sustainable model, comes to fore. This study was carried out evaluate adherence MD nutrition knowledge environmentally responsible food choices determine factors affecting adherence.A questionnaire prepared by researchers sent individuals online 1732 adults living in Turkey participated this cross-sectional study. Adherence evaluated Diet Screener (MEDAS). In addition, questions were asked about nutritional behaviors of individuals.Half participants (51.1% men / 53% women) adhere at moderate level. Even highest had low compliance recommendations for fruit (43.4%) fish (37.3%) consumption. A one-unit increase age, score, score increases 0.08, 0.125, 0.148 points, respectively (p < 0.005). Individuals high avoid consuming genetically modified organism more 0.001), prefer consume labeled foods buy from local businesses while they imported less = 0.034).The results showed some strategies should developed adaptation behaviors. Nutritionally adequate, sustainable, eco-friendly encouraged benefits minimize effects. To promote nutrition, firstly it important level concerning purpose, an international valid assessment tool needed.

The pandemics of obesity, undernutrition, and climate change represent severe threats to child health. They co-occur; interact with each other produce sequelae at biological, psychological, or social levels; share common underlying drivers. In this paper, we review the key issues concerning diet nutritional status, focusing on interactions food systems. Inadequate infant young feeding practices, insecurity, poverty, limited access health services are leading causes malnutrition across generations. Food system industrialization globalization lead a double burden malnutrition, whereby undernutrition (i.e., stunting, wasting, deficiencies in micronutrients) coexists overweight as well harmful effects climate.

The transition towards a circular economy in the food system is posited as way to harmonize provision safe, ample and accessible growing population with reduction system’s widespread impact on natural resources, environment, human health. Within context of innovation, there an abundance assessment approaches allowing researchers evaluate guide new technologies, applications, products. However, specialist circularity tools are underutilized. This research draws from wider discourse, sustainability methods, systems-transitions theory propose novel framework appraise innovation. Through systematic literature review critical analysis, this work highlights limitations existing methods based multi-disciplinary lens. In lieu robust metrics, elaborations within Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology provide comprehensive assessment, while cross-disciplinary inform development technological trajectories line system-transitions theories. proposed aims bridge gap by providing holistic approach that incorporates systems perspectives considers dynamics via future scenario modelling. By integrating these perspectives, facilitates earlier intervention broader stakeholder engagement process.

Abstract Food systems must serve different societal, public health and individual nutrition, environmental objectives therefore face numerous challenges. Considering the integrated performances of food systems, this paper highlights five fundamental paradigm shifts that are required to overcome trade-offs build synergies between inclusive livelihoods, sustainability system resilience. We focus on challenges raise policy ambitions, harmonize production consumption goals, improve connectivity them, strengthen performance anchor governance in policies participatory institutions. Taken together, these paradigms shape a new discourse for transformation will be capable respond current future
