Research on Identification Methods for Healthy Diet Green Design

Abstract

This study explored two important optimization models - SHARP and CiFoS - to investigate the design of sustainable healthy diets that can minimize environmental impacts and improve public health. SHARP is a dietary optimization model that focuses on individual dietary changes, while CiFoS is a biophysical model aiming to redesign the food system at a broader level.The analysis results demonstrated that although these two models share certain similarities in food group consumption trends, such as reducing the intake of red meat and processed foods and increasing the consumption of vegetables and fruits, they differ in their approaches regarding environmental impact modeling, health considerations, and cultural acceptability, which lead to different results in the comparison of food groups.The study emphasized the advantages and disadvantages of each model in guiding policy decisions and provided insights into how to optimize dietary patterns and food systems to reduce environmental impacts. The research findings indicated that combining dietary changes with food system design is of great significance for achieving environmental sustainability and improving public health.
