“…anthropogenic suffering; human and animal exploitation). These results are consistent with previous findings on the growing consumer awareness about the environmental impacts of the livestock industry (Hopwood et al, 2021;Krizanova et al, 2021;Sanchez-Sabate et al, 2019), as well as the impact that factory farms have on the animals who are used for human consumption (Hartmann and Siegrist, 2020;Mathur et al, 2021;McGuire et al, 2022;Rosenfeld, 2019). Sustainable and ethical consumption orientations have been identified as enablers of increased plant-based eating (Bryant, 2019;Hopwood et al, 2021;Graça et al, 2019).…”

PurposeRecent reviews and reports have highlighted the need for integrated, context-specific efforts to enable sustainable food transitions. This study aimed to identify pathways to promote healthier and more environmentally friendly food practices in school contexts, with a focus on increased plant-based eating.Design/methodology/approachThe study used a systemic approach with data collected from relevant stakeholders in an EU country (Portugal) at diverse levels of influence in the school meals system (i.e. proximal, intermediate, distal; from end-consumers to food providers, market actors, civil society organizations, and policy and decision-makers). Data from individual interviews (N = 33) were subjected to thematic analysis.FindingsMeat-centric cultural perceptions of a ‘proper meal’ can be a socio-emotional barrier for sustainable food transitions in schools. Main pathways identified to unlock these transitions included: (1) Levering orientations toward ethical and environmentally beneficial consumption; (2) Improving and increasing the offer of plant-based meals; and (3) Mobilizing local communities and society.Originality/valueThe current findings suggest that promoting healthier and more environmentally friendly food practices in schools requires systemic, integrated approaches which focus on food consumption, food provision, and the broader political and sociocultural environment.

“…Um recente estudo realizado com universitários na Espanha, identificou que as questões ambientais tiveram impactos positivos na intenção dos indivíduos aderirem às dietas com base em vegetais a curto prazo, bem como, as manterem em um período de 1 a 2 anos. Sendo assim, fica evidente que valorizar um estilo de vida de comportamentos próambientais pode permitir que as pessoas sigam uma dieta baseada em vegetais com mais sucesso (Krizanova et al, 2021).…”

A redução do consumo de produtos de origem animal é uma prática que vem apresentando um número cada vez maior de adeptos. O padrão alimentar à base de vegetais tem propriedades nutricionais capazes de apresentar benefícios à saúde. Essa prática favorece a busca por um sistema alimentar mais sustentável sob o contexto dos avanços da globalização, da industrialização, do aumento populacional e do impacto ambiental. Considerando a relevância de estímulo a uma produção e consumo sustentáveis, este estudo teve o objetivo de investigar os facilitadores e limitações relacionados à redução do consumo de carne na população da cidade de Niterói, região metropolitana do Estado do Rio de Janeiro - Brasil. A coleta de dados foi realizada por meio de um questionário online, sendo divulgado por meio de mídias sociais. As questões ambientais e os benefícios para a saúde demonstraram ser facilitadores para redução do consumo de carne. Enquanto o gosto pela carne se apresentou como uma barreira que limita a redução do seu consumo. O convívio social não se apresentou como um limitador, assim como substitutos da carne. Por fim, a intenção de redução do consumo de carne demonstrou equilíbrio entre a discordância e a concordância, porém pode haver uma chance de futuramente os consumidores aderirem a este padrão alimentar.

“…Future research is required to understand the specific format and dose of nature exposure that is needed to elicit emotional, cognitive, and behavioral outcomes that benefit health. Other potential mechanisms for how nature exposure might influence diet should also be examined; for example, people may be nudged toward healthier choices due to prior associations between nature, health and sustainable eating practices ( Hagen, 2020 ; Krizanova et al, 2021 ). Connection to nature is also significantly associated with trait mindfulness ( Schutte and Malouff, 2018 ), and therefore nature exposure could promote a more attentive approach to eating and better dietary control.…”

A Change of Scenery: Does Exposure to Images of Nature Affect Delay Discounting and Food Desirability?

Previous research suggests that exposure to nature may reduce delay discounting (the tendency to discount larger future gains in favor of smaller immediate rewards) and thereby facilitate healthier dietary intake. This pre-registered study examined the impact of online exposure to images of natural scenes on delay discounting and food preferences. It was predicted that exposure to images of natural scenes (vs. images of urban scenes) would be associated with: (i) lower delay discounting; (ii) higher desirability for fruits and vegetables (and lower desirability for more energy-dense foods); and (iii) delay discounting would mediate the effect of nature-image exposure on food desirability. Adult participants (N = 109) were recruited to an online between-subjects experiment in which they viewed a timed sequence of six images either showing natural landscape scenes or urban scenes. They then completed measures of mood, delay discounting (using a five-trial hypothetical monetary discounting task) and rated their momentary desire to eat four fruits and vegetables (F&V), and four energy-dense foods. There was no statistically significant effect of experimental condition (natural vs. urban image exposure) on delay discounting or food desirability. Bayes factors supported the null hypothesis for discounting (BF01 = 4.89), and energy-dense food desirability (BF01 = 7.21), but provided no strong evidence for either hypothesis for F&V desirability (BF01 = 0.78). These findings indicate that brief online exposure to images of nature does not affect momentary impulsivity or energy-dense food preference, whereas for preference for less-energy dense foods, the evidence was inconclusive.
