A study by Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health highlights the dual benefits of the Planetary Health Diet , which not only reduces the risk of premature death by up to 30% but also significantly decreases environmental impacts.
While other studies have found that diets emphasizing plant-based foods over animal-sourced foods could have benefits for human and planetary health, most have used one-time dietary assessments, which produce weaker results than looking at diets over a long period of time. In addition, the researchers found that those with the highest adherence to the PHD had a substantially lower environmental impact than those with the lowest adherence, including 29% lower greenhouse gas emissions, 21% lower fertilizer needs, and 51% lower cropland use.
