The Planetary Health Diet (PHD) promotes a way of eating that not only supports individual health but also protects the well-being of the planet, emphasizing the need for sustainable food consumption.
Walter Willett highlights the purpose of the PHD: to devise a diet that could responsibly nourish the anticipated 10 billion global population by 2050 while being sustainable for the environment.
A study utilizing health data shows that following the Planetary Health Diet could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and avert 11 million premature deaths each year.
Experts emphasized the balance of the diet, consisting mainly of fruits, vegetables, and nuts, alongside whole grains and minimal animal protein, to align human health with planetary sustainability.
