- ItemA consensus proposal for nutritional indicators to assess the sustainability of a healthy diet: The mediterranean diet as a case study(Nature Publishing Group, 29/08/2016) Donini LM; Dernini S; Lairon D; Serra-Majem L; Amiot MJ; Balzo V; Giusti AM; Burlingame B; Belahsen R; Maiani G; Polito A; Turrin A; Intorre F; Trichopoulou A; Berry EThere is increasing evidence of the multiple effects of diets on public health nutrition, society, and environment. Sustainability and food security are closely interrelated. The traditional Mediterranean Diet (MD) is recognized as a healthier dietary pattern with a lower environmental impact. As a case study, the MD may guide innovative inter-sectorial efforts to counteract the degradation of ecosystems, loss of biodiversity, and homogeneity of diets due to globalization through the improvement of sustainable healthy dietary patterns. This consensus position paper defines a suite of the most appropriate nutrition and health indicators for assessing the sustainability of diets based on the MD.
