Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
A plant-based diet is a way of eating that emphasizes whole, minimally processed, plant-derived foods, bringing benefits to both human health and the environment. Nutritionally, well-balanced plant-based foods can provide all the nutrients needed to ensure optimal health and can contribute significantly to reduce the risk of chronic diseases that have an increasingly high incidence globally, such as cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, obesity and even cancer. Thus, as a result, a plant-based diet can reduce mortality and increase life expectancy.
Sustainable nutrition is a type of nutrition produced and delivered in a way that is mindful for people, the planet, and society. Taking into account the climate changes recorded thus far and those predicted for the next few years, healthy and sustainable diets must be a priority. Adopting a plant-based diet can really contribute to the development of a sustainable food system.
The aim of this Special issue named "Plant-Based Diet, Sustainable Nutrition and Human Health" is to bring together the latest relevant data about plant-based diets, as well as explore the relationship between a nutritional approach and human health, particularly in the context of sustainable nutrition. Authors are invited to submit original research articles, short communications, systematic reviews, meta-analyses or narrative reviews to be considered for publication in this Special Issue.
