Main findings & policy advice
▪ Swiss men have high animal product consumption and alcohol consumption.
▪ Whole grain consumption is too low for the entire population.
▪ All diets have too high of greenhouse gas emission to be sustainable.
How to change this?
▪ Policies that decrease agricultural production impacts.
▪ The work by the sociologists show: policies should take advantage of addressing social context of food choice with respect to desire to eat local, differences between men and women, changes in life (ex: university, pregnancy, moving, marriage), and convenience (ex: healthy and sustainable food at the train station).
