New nutritional recommendations
The food we eat and how it is produced affects not only our health, but also the environment. Food is grown, processed, transported, delivered, prepared and sometimes thrown away. Each of these steps produces greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming and therefore climate change. Around a third of all greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans are attributable to food production and the resulting diets.
We have therefore included climate and health parameters in the new Austrian dietary recommendations. In cooperation with the Austrian Society for Nutrition on behalf of Gesundheit Österreich GmbH, we have derived omnivorous and vegetarian dietary recommendations for Austria using a scientific calculation method and with the involvement of (inter)national experts and members of the National Nutrition Commission.
