SusDiP: Bewertung der Umweltauswirkungen von Lebensmittelabfällen und der Nachhaltigkeit von Schweizer Ernährungsmustern

Food consumption has a major impact on both the environment and individuals’ health. The objective of the project is to evaluate the environmental impacts of different consumption and dietary patterns while accounting for nutritional aspects. A special focus is hereby on food waste. To this end, the project will first develop life cycle inventories for food consumption and quantify the environmental impacts of food waste. Second, a survey will be conducted to better link consumer diets, meaning what people eat, with consumption habits, meaning how people eat (e.g. organic, out-of-home). Finally, the environmental impacts of some of these linked consumer diets and consumption habits will be evaluated. The project will provide relevant insights for farmers, producer organisations, and supply chain actors on the future orientation of food production, and will offer decision support to policy makers, consumers and researchers.
