Chapter Chapter 1 in Food in a Planetary Emergency, 2022, pp 3-17 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The chapter interprets the meaning of sustainability and the concept of planetary health that links together human and ecological well-being. Food production and consumption need to sit within the planet’s geophysical boundaries and a planetary diet should allow the projected 10.9 billion people to live comfortably on Earth. The transitioning to such a better planetary diet with more plant-based options has to happen through a double-pronged approach of innovation and behaviour change. Instead of bleak scenarios for the future, there should be hope and enthusiasm as we can make a change each time when we decide what to eat.
