SUMMARY:Dietary shifts as a strategy to mitigate environmental impacts
DESCRIPTION:Feeding a growing population while minimizing environmental deg
 radation is a global challenge. It is now clear that because of the enormo
 us regional to global impacts of livestock on air and water quality\, biod
 iversity\, land use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions\, adequately feedin
 g 9 plus billion humans will require thoroughly rethinking food production
  and consumption. Because they strongly impact food production\, dietary p
 reference play a major role in food systems with major impacts on the envi
 ronment and public health. Recent analyses link environment\, economy and 
 health through the diet nexus\, highlighting the huge environmental mitiga
 tion potential of changing diets (especially reduction in beef consumption
 ) comparable to changes in agriculture productivity. In this talk I will r
 eview current literature on dietary shifts as a strategy to alleviate envi
 ronmental impacts. In addition I will present an on-going research that as
 sesses the environmental burdens of individual animal-based food items in 
 the American food system and quantifies the ramifications of potential die
 tary changes to resource usage and food availability\n\n \n\nFull Abstrac
