Abstract

There is not a single solution for sustainable food for the future. Multiple sources, with differing views on the effect of diets on our health, the global population, society, and the future of the environment, are able to compromise on an ‘imperfect’ solution. Unsurprisingly, the better, more environmental-friendly, less energy- and water-intensive foods are generally plant-based. Because strict plant-based diets cut out all animal products, the happy medium is the Mediterranean diet. The Mediterranean diet is mainly plant-based, with some fish, eggs, and even less meat and dairy recommended. This bodes well for different cultures, health, and people universally and projects well for the planet’s future. The authors hope that this chapter will provide factual insight from multiple sources for readers to make informed decisions of what to consume on a daily basis.
