“…Malnutrition is induced by unbalanced of diet habits, so a quantity of staple foods, meat, poultry eggs, cooking oil, vegetables, fruits, and milk was provided. Adequate nutrition is an essential human need, affecting health and well-being through dietary intake from food for calories and food for minerals and vitamins [16][17][18]. The food set was calculated to estimate the food needed for calories, minerals, and vitamins according to the food serving size, consumers' age, estimated land use, water use, and carbon dioxide emission equivalent.…”

Traditional Cambodian food has higher nutrient balances and is environmentally sustainable compared to conventional diets. However, there is a lack of knowledge and evidence on nutrient intake and the environmental greenness of traditional food at different age distributions. The relationship between nutritional intake and environmental impact can be evaluated using carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from agricultural production based on life cycle assessment (LCA). The objective of this study was to estimate the CO2 equivalent (eq) emissions from the traditional Cambodian diet using LCA, starting at each agricultural production phase. A one-year food consumption scenario with the traditional diet was established. Five breakfast (BF1–5) and seven lunch and dinner (LD1–7) food sets were consumed at the same rate and compared using LCA. The results showed that BF1 and LD2 had the lowest and highest emissions (0.3 Mt CO2 eq/yr and 1.2 Mt CO2 eq/yr, respectively). The food calories, minerals, and vitamins met the recommended dietary allowance. The country’s existing food production system generates CO2 emissions of 9.7 Mt CO2 eq/yr, with the proposed system reducing these by 28.9% to 6.9 Mt CO2 eq/yr. The change in each food item could decrease emissions depending on the type and quantity of the food set, especially meat and milk consumption.

“…When the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) refers to "food security, they mean a situation in which everyone has the resources they need to acquire enough food to ensure that they have physical, social, and economic access to sufficient, safe, and nutritious food to satisfy their dietary needs and food E3S Web of Conferences 296, 07003 (2021) https://doi.org/10.1051/e3sconf/202129607003 ESMGT 2021 preferences." [4]The four pillars of food security described by the FAO contain not only food safety and proper nutrition, but also incorporate other problems relating to food supply, accessibility, use, and stability [5]. Nevertheless, strife exists between food safety, proper nutrition, and food security, each of which has a different definition [6].…”

It is critical to ensure that the availability of food, as well as food safety, are preserved in food security systems. This has substantial consequences on the health of world’s population. Food safety deals with food-borne disease, and it focuses on how, where, and what food is handled, prepared, and stored. The healthiness of a diet depends on the nutritional quality of its food. Food security is a multifaceted concept that takes into account several issues and projects throughout the globe. The findings from this study are intended to provide insight into the food security of children in rural Punjab, India. To study the possibility to establish sustainable programmes that assure hot meals for school students in rural Punjab, the primary goal of the research is to do so. Researchers in Punjab have not done any equivalent scholarly study focusing on food security from an economic standpoint. In-depth nondirective interviews were used to find out what experienced professionals thought. The findings reveal the need to increase family and school food resources to meet the nutritional requirements of children in rural regions. Additionally, offering hot meals in primary schools in impoverished communities is justifiable since poor nutrition among school-aged children has both short-term and long-term impacts on their academic success and development. These findings lead to management implications for policy makers who want to measure the effectiveness of national and state funded educational programmes.
