Eco-labels are an instrument for enabling informed food choices and supporting a demand-sided change towards urgently needed sustainable system. Lately, novel eco-labels that depict product’s environmental life cycle assessment on multi-level scale being tested across Europe’s retailers. This study elicits consumers’ preferences willingness to pay (WTP) eco-label. A Discrete Choice Experiment was conducted; representative sample (n = 536) the Austrian population targeted via online survey. Individual partworth utilities were estimated by means of Hierarchical Bayes. The results show higher WTP positively evaluated label, revealing perceived benefits colorful labels over binary black-and-white designs. Even negatively label associated with compared one no pointing limited effectiveness eco-labels. Respondents’ independent from their subjective eco-label knowledge, health consciousness, concern. attribute “protein source” most important, preference animal-based protein source (beef) strongly correlated meat attachment, implying shift more sources is challenging, sustainability have only small impact product choice average consumers.

The triple burden of obesity, undernutrition and climate change calls for systemic action to find solutions that co-benefit human planetary health. A Nutritional Life Cycle Assessment (nLCA) can be used as a tool assess the health- environmental impact foods guide transition healthy sustainable diets. Thus far, nLCAs have nutrient content represent their health impact, whereas disease risk linked under- or overconsuming certain nutrients, food groups has been largely underutilized. This study explored, Dutch diet, correlation between an indicator essential density individual items, i.e., Nutrient Rich Food index with 24 nutrients (NRF24) HEalth Index (HENI), respectively. NRF24 HENI scores were calculated items contained in Composition database. very weak values confirmed should considered complementary thus, high does not directly imply low burden, vice versa. Moreover, direction strength was group-dependent, negative correlations mainly observed animal-based products, exception dairy. In addition, nutrition-based indicators greenhouse gas emissions, land use water mostly weak, which stresses need include traditional LCAs because trade-offs due impacts. We therefore conclude multiple side-by-side nLCA avoid missing important information when assessing performance
