29 Oct 2019 --- For the first time, researchers have tied the health impacts of foods to their overall environmental impact, such as greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and water usage. The results show that healthier diets, consisting of whole grains and vegetables, for example, would markedly reduce the environmental impact of agriculture and food production. The findings could help consumers, policymakers and food companies better understand the health and environmental impacts of food choices, the authors note.
