Sustainable diets offer many benefits including personal, environmental, social, and economic wellbeing. They prioritize foods that are produced using methods that minimize negative environmental impacts, such as reducing greenhouse gas emissions, conserving water and soil, and preserving biodiversity. Sustainable diets also typically focus on plant-based foods, which have been shown to have lower greenhouse gas emissions by about 50% less than diets rich in animal products. 3, record 1, English, - sustainable%20diet

Sustainable eating is about choosing foods that are healthful to our environment and our bodies. According the 2019 EAT-Lancet commission on healthy diets from sustainable food systems, a global shift toward more plant-based foods would help feed the world's growing population a nutritious and sustainable diet. This plant-based eating style includes more legumes(beans, peas, lentils, peanuts), whole grains, vegetables, fruits and nuts, and less animal-based foods, especially red meat and processed meat. Limiting refined grains and added sugars is encouraged as well. 3, record 2, English, - sustainable%20eating

Formé du préfixe éco- et du mot «responsable», le terme «écoresponsable» s'inscrit dans une démarche de développement durable. Il implique de prendre en considération les conséquences potentielles à court et long terme de nos comportements et choix. Par exemple, choisir d'acheter des fruits et légumes locaux et cultivés dans le respect de l'environnement et des travailleurs [...] est considéré comme un choix écoresponsable! L'écoresponsabilité appliquée à l'alimentation implique la minimisation des impacts environnementaux des aliments tout en maximisant les impacts sociaux positifs. Une alimentation écoresponsable est directement liée à l'impact des changements climatiques, qui altèrent à long terme des aspects liés au temps tels que la température, les précipitations, la configuration des vents, etc. 5, record 2, French, - alimentation%20%C3%A9coresponsable
