As part of the sustainability lecture series "UPB for Future", a lecture by Prof. Dr. Lars Libuda will take place on Thursday, 26 June at 4.15 pm in lecture hall L1. The lecture will focus on the opportunities, potential and challenges of sustainable nutrition.
A sustainable diet is a diet with a low environmental impact that contributes to food security and a healthy life for present and future generations. In addition to respecting planetary boundaries, a sustainable diet should be culturally acceptable, economically affordable and nutritionally adequate. The event will discuss how such a diet can be realised, which principles help with its implementation and whether a vegan diet is the only way to achieve sustainability.
