Recommendations for sustainable and healthy diets

Our eating habits have far-reaching consequences for our way of life: the ways in which food is produced, processed and consumed affects the environment, the economy and society as a whole. At the same time, many common illnesses are
linked to nutrition. For these reasons, sustainability and health will be important factors in future diets. The interdisciplinary research project analyses synergies and trade-offs between these two areas. It presents different scenarios and proposes strategies to make nutrition in Switzerland healthier and more sustainable.
