“…Sustainable nutrition aims not only to promote Nutrients 2024, 16, 1700 2 of 17 optimal health but also to minimize environmental impact by aiming to adopt a culturally appropriate, readily available, and environmentally friendly diet. Research shows that there is a significant lack of knowledge about the concept of sustainable nutrition [9,10]. Having sustainable eating behaviors seems to have potential outcomes for both controlling body weight and body fat and reducing the carbon footprint (CFP) and water footprint (WFP) [11,12].…”

There are studies on the effect of general nutrition education on diet quality and anthropometric measurements, while studies showing the effectiveness of sustainable nutrition education, which also addresses the effect of food on the environment, are quite limited. This study aimed to investigate the effects of sustainable nutrition education on diet quality, anthropometric measurements, and the carbon footprint (CFP) and water footprint (WFP) of diet. A total of 160 university students received 1 h of sustainable nutrition education for 6 weeks. Before, at the end of, and 2 months after the courses, 24 h food consumption records were taken to assess diet quality and CFP and WFP values of diet, and Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) and Healthy Eating Index (HEI)-2020 scores were evaluated. The results of the study showed that sustainable nutrition education increased MedDiet score by 1.86 points and HEI-2020 score by 7.38 points. This education program also decreased body weight, body mass index (BMI), fat mass, and neck circumference. Sustainability education has a positive impact on calcium, potassium, and magnesium intakes, a negative impact on vitamin B12 and zinc intakes, and no effect on total protein intake. Education resulted in a 22% reduction in CFP and a 10% reduction in WFP.

This study aimed to develop and validate an instrument, the Sustainable Diets Questionnaire (SDQ), to assess the knowledge, attitude, and practice of sustainable diets in adult populations. A panel of four nutritionists identified 63 items through a literature review and refined them to a 54-item model for validation across four domains: Knowledge domain (K, eight items), Attitude domain (A, 18 items), Practice domain (P, 16 items) and Consumption Habits domain (D, 12 items). The validation process consisted of a pilot with 86 individuals (Phase 1) and a larger study with 389 participants (Phase 2). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted in both phases to verify model fit. In Phase 1, the initial four-factor model did not converge, indicating a need for item modification and a revised three-factor model (K domain, eight items; A domain, 18 items; new P domain, 28 items). In Phase 2, the new model showed improvement in fit indices with a Scaled Chi-Square of 2.415, Comparative Fit Index (CFI) of 0.863, Goodness of Fit Index (GFI) of 0.747, Tucker-Lewis Index (TLI) of 0.851 and the Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) was 0.066, although some indices fell below the 0.9 threshold. The Cronbach’s α for the Knowledge, Attitude, and Practice domains were 0.9, 0.96, and 0.897, respectively, with an overall α of 0.959. There was no significant difference between the first and second attempts of the SDQ model, indicating good test–retest reliability. There was also a significant positive correlation between the response scores of K, A, and P domains (K vs. A, r = 0.575, p < 0.001; K vs. P, r = 0.496, p ≤ 0.001 and A vs. P, r = 0.665, p ≤ 0.001). The study concludes that the three-factor model of SDQ is a valid and reliable tool for understanding the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of sustainable diets among adults.
