Summary
Are you passionate about the intersection of health, sustainability, and behaviour change? Join our cutting-edge research project to learn interdisciplinary skills and drive real-world change! This project examines the potential benefits of plant-based diets, which have 75% less environmental impact and could prevent 24% of premature deaths. We’ll explore the effects of a temporary plant-based diet plus personalised feedback on health and environmental benefits in students in catered halls. We’ll examine effects on nutrition, environmental impact, physical and psychological health and assess the immediate and longer-term effects, while identifying the key challenges and enablers of adopting a plant-based diet.
