Sustainable diets are diets that reduce the impact it has on the environment. This basically means eating more fruits,vegetables, being concious of where your food comes from, how it is prepared and avoid or cut down on consuming processed food. A sustainable diet will encourage you to eat more plants than animals but it doesn't mean you have to go vegan but encourages individuals to eat a higher proportion of plant-based food.
