Is a diet low in greenhouse gas emissions a nutritious diet? – Analyses of self-selected diets in the LifeGene study

This important study relates Green House Gas emissions to the nutritional recommendation (Nordic) on nutrients associated with meat, dairy, fruit, and vegetable. Authors Bälter et al confirm that through changing diets, which remain healthy, populations can contribute positively to the global problem of climate change.
