Evaluation

Authored by Farah Naja, this study evaluates the environmental footprints (EFPs) of food consumption patterns among Lebanese adults. It examines Western, Lebanese-Mediterranean, and High-Protein diets, focusing on water and energy usage, as well as greenhouse gas emissions. The study reveals that the Lebanese-Mediterranean diet has a lower environmental impact, aligning with both health and sustainability objectives.
