Abstract Background A healthy and sustainable diet is a prerequisite for population planetary health. The evidence of associations between dietary patterns health outcomes has now been synthesised to inform more than 100 national guidelines. Yet, people select foods, not whole patterns, even in the context following specific diets such as Mediterranean diet, presenting challenges researchers, policymakers practitioners wanting translate guideline recommendations into food-level selection guidance citizens. Understanding fundamentals that underpin provides scientific basis helping navigate these challenges. This paper’s aim describe diet. Results rationale underpinning what universal.

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

Our analysis reveals that DD is scientifically problematic, particularly in neglect issues such as meat overconsumption high-income countries dominance industrial production, thereby downplaying associated risks harms. also show DD's authors essentially suggest societies should simply rely technological progress to fix any "challenges" with sector, suggestion aligns authors' private interests. identify several academically questionable practices, including denial credentials dissenting actors, omission significant conflicts interest, excessive self-edition self-citation, all while purporting provide scientific balanced overview.

The plant-based meat alternative (PBMA) market and consumer base on the island of Ireland (IOI) has grown rapidly in recent years. Therefore, this study compared changes PBMAs available IOI over time nutritional profiles with counterparts. Three online audits Tesco’s Sainsbury’s 2021/2022, 2022/2023 2023/2024 were conducted. All on-pack information was extracted analysed using descriptive statistics to identify trends time. content selected categories identified audit similar independent samples t-tests or Mann–Whitney-U tests. number increased (n = 350, n 321 398), a trend slight improvements A-scores observed for most categories. Compared meat, had significantly lower total saturated fat contents higher carbohydrate, fibre sugar across increase suggests that development new products is ongoing. However, salt some only suggest focus should be redirected product reformulation refinement improve quality PBMAs.

Background/Objectives: Plant-based diets are associated with human and planetary health. However, the overall quality of these may depend on proportion ultra-processed foods (UPFs). This study investigates association between UPF consumption plant-based diet in Australian adults. Methods: Analysis was conducted 9111 participants (aged ≥ 19 years) from National Nutrition Physical Activity Survey 2011-2012. Food items reported a 24 h recall were classified using NOVA system, contribution UPFs to total energy intake calculated. examined index (PDI), healthy PDI (hPDI), unhealthy (uPDI). Multiple linear regression models used examine PDI, hPDI, uPDI, their score components. Results: The positively uPDI (β = 0.80; 95% CI 0.72, 0.89) negatively -0.13; CI: -0.22, -0.04) hPDI -0.65; -0.73, -0.57).

Conclusions: Higher lower quality. These findings have implications for design dietary interventions that encourage minimally processed foods.

Animal proteins have been used in the formulation and production of food products for many centuries, which has mainly attributed to their excellent functional properties. However, rearing animals associated with an increased emission greenhouse gases that contributes global warming climate change. Consequently, there a drive toward using alternative proteins, such as those from plant origins, found be more sustainable. A climate-smart strategy contribute reduction meat consumption plant-based analogues. The lower acceptance these substitutes is sensorial, nutritional, textural properties, fail resemble conventional meat. As such, knowledge gap understanding key aspects come into play while formulating alternatives sources by deciphering link between techno-functional attributes protein various quality products. Therefore, this review aims discuss technical advances made when it comes could consumer acceptance. There also huge impetus diversify usage analogues beyond soy pea, requires applications underutilised overcome organoleptic shortcomings, well techno-economic challenges addressed work. Additionally, nutritional equivalency reviewed, ways fabricated are discussed assess opportunities exist current product formulations. Other determinants, environmental sustainability factors, prospective supply chain issues, market adoptability alternatives, discussed.

This study, therefore, evaluates effectiveness, challenges, environmental impacts, and new strategies related plant animal products, with a view promoting more sustainable healthy eating practices. The search stages were conducted using following databases: PubMed, Science Direct, SciElo. studies selected included those published from 2018 2024 government documents, available English, Portuguese, Spanish. 34 articles analyzed this study showed impacts production proteins, highlighting urgency implementing changes sector. However, factors such as land use, carbon footprint, water footprint show remarkable differences depending on type crop cultivated, agricultural adopted, involved supply chain. As final considerations, analysis suggests that achieving sustainability systems requires an integrate approach combines optimization protein reduction development technologies support efficiency resilience industry.
