面对有限的自然资源和气候变化，对粮食的需求不断增长，这带来了全球性挑战，引起了人们对我们目前粮食系统可持续性的关切。根据联合国粮农组织的定义，可持续饮食的四个主要领域是健康、经济、社会和环境。研究文献在强调当前饮食的环境成本和健康影响的同时，实际上忽视了可持续性的重要经济和社会方面。如果没有这些组成部分，就无法为有关气候变化和日益增长的粮食需求的全球挑战的决策提供关键投入。国家乳品理事会召集了社会学、经济学、人类营养学、食品系统科学、食品安全、环境健康和可持续农业方面的专家，举行了为期一天的研讨会，以确定可持续性的社会和经济领域，以更好地描述健康和可持续的基于食物的饮食指导。协商一致的建议是：（1）选择社会和经济指标，以补充现有的环境和健康指标;（2）更好地定义适当的概念、术语和措施，以促进跨学科的讨论;（3）重新确定对可持续饮食的关注，以实现“从可持续粮食系统实现健康饮食模式”的目标;以及（4）补充四个领域，并将地理、时间和跨领域考虑因素的概念纳入可持续性框架。本出版物总结了2019年研讨会的演讲、讨论和结果，旨在促进进一步行动，在基于食物的饮食指导和可持续发展目标的背景下推进可持续性研究和实践。
Global challenges associated with a growing demand for food in the face of finite natural resources and climate change have prompted concerns about the sustainability of our current food systems. As formulated by the Food and Agriculture Organization, the four principal domains of sustainable diets are health, economics, society, and the environment. While emphasizing the environmental cost and health impacts of current diets, the research literature has virtually ignored the vital economic and social aspects of sustainability. Without these components, critical inputs for decision-making about global challenges related to climate change and a growing demand for food are missing. National Dairy Council convened experts in sociology, economics, human nutrition, food systems science, food security, environmental health, and sustainable agriculture for a one-day workshop to define the social and economic domains of sustainability in service of better characterizing food-based dietary guidance that is both healthy and sustainable. The consensus recommendations were to (1) select social and economic indicators to complement the existing environmental and health ones, (2) better define appropriate concepts, terms, and measures to foster discussion across scientific disciplines, (3) reframe the focus on sustainable diets towards the goal of "achieving healthy dietary patterns from sustainable food systems", and (4) complement the four domains, and incorporate the notions of geography, time, and cross-cutting considerations into sustainability frameworks. This publication summarizes the presentations, discussions, and findings from the 2019 workshop, and aims to catalyze further action to advance sustainability research and practice in the context of food-based dietary guidance and the Sustainable Development Goals.
