Eating better: Enhancing health, sustainability, and food security

China's economic growth has shifted dietary patterns towards more animal-sourced foods, impacting public health, food security, and the environment. A move to plant-based diets could improve health outcomes and reduce environmental impact. However, ingrained food habits, limited nutritional knowledge, and affordability remain barriers. Strategic interventions like region-specific diet guidelines and transforming agrifood systems are essential for promoting a sustainable, healthy dietary future.
