Biography

A transition towards healthy and sustainable diets is urgently needed. The diets of 21st century EU citizens need be within the safe operating spaces, i.e. they should (a) comply with guidelines for healthy diets to reduce NCDs, obesity and undernutrition, (b) be sustainable by respecting the planetary boundaries for GHGE and other indicators and (c) are consumer-oriented by complying with regional and national food cultures. In the SHARP-Basic project (2015-19) a data-driven optimization model was developed to formulate diets that are not only Sustainable and Healthy, but that also fit national food cultures, i.e. the diets are Affordable, Reliable and Preferable.
