Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Welcome to this Special Issue of Foods on " Exploring the Nexus of Meat Consumption, Health, and Environmental Sustainability". This Special Issue aims to explore the multifaceted relationship between meat consumption, human health, and environmental sustainability. As global meat consumption continues to rise, it will become imperative to investigate its implications on public health and the planet. We invite contributions that delve into various aspects of this topic, including the nutritional impact of different types of meat, the role of meat in chronic diseases, and the environmental footprint of meat production. By fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and presenting cutting-edge research, this Special Issue seeks to inform policymakers, industry stakeholders, and the general public about the complex interplay between meat consumption, health outcomes, and environmental sustainability.

Dr. João Almeida
