Environmental Impacts of Personalized Nutrition
Doctoral thesis of Christie Walker
This research investigates the relationships among individual’s preferred food choices, the health consequences of those choices, and the environmental impacts associated with the production of their food. The end result will provide diets optimized for an individual based on their gender, age, macro and micronutrient requirements, and food preferences while considering and minimizing the environmental impacts of the production, processing, and transportation of this food.
In the framework of this project, we developed a tool to be used for personalized diet composition assessments. The tool quantifies and assesses environmental impacts and nutritional values in order to provide a low environmental impact and healthful diet specific to country and season:
