About the Course

What we eat and how we produce that food have significant effects on human health and the sustainability of our planet. But what is a ‘sustainable’ diet? A sustainable diet, as defined by the FAO, promotes health and well-being and provides food security for the present population while sustaining human and natural resources for future generations. This short course looks at the urgent need to address the sustainability of our food systems, including better understanding the complex relationship between diet and climate change. We’ll explore current research on dietary shifts needed in high, middle, and low-income countries to achieve both sustainability and food security goals and discuss evidence-based strategies to promote sustainable diets. This course is offered by the Johns Hopkins Center for a Livable Future and draws from our graduate-level food systems curriculum at the Bloomberg School of Public Health.

Course was helpful and it thought me how red meat is the most waste of many resources. One needs to be sustainable in their diet that is by growing organics products, buying local produce and also reducing the number of times we intake our red meats in our food.

Fabulous course about what we know now regarding sustainable diets. I would have given it five stars if it addressed knowledge gaps and areas of further research needed regarding changing dietary habits! Wonderful course and so important.

Professor was reading everything, not a lot of learning going on here. Some charts weren't legible, too small, too much information in a small space. I feel anyone could have taught this course just by reading the text. I dropped out before finishing
