In recent decades, the debate on climate change has progressively become interconnected with that on food choices, highlighting how cultural habits can influence the environmental impact of diets. In particular, the Mediterranean diet and the vegan diet represent two distinct dietary models that, although both considered sustainable, have significant differences in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, land use and water consumption. In this paper, these effects were mapped and quantified in order to compare them and to offer an instrument for political decisions, for example for strategies to orientate future habits and consumptions in food.

摘要

In recent decades, the debate on climate change has progressively become interconnected with that on food choices, highlighting how cultural habits can influence the environmental impact of diets. In particular, the Mediterranean diet and the vegan diet represent two distinct dietary models that, although both considered sustainable, have significant differences in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, land use and water consumption. In this paper, these effects were mapped and quantified in order to compare them and to offer an instrument for political decisions, for example for strategies to orientate future habits and consumptions in food.
