Description
Balancing human nutrition with environmental sustainability is one of the greatest challenges today as climate change threatens food production. Food systems are expected to face significant challenges in the coming decades. A shift towards new, more plant-based diets, like the EAT-Lancet diet, is necessary as adapting only agricultural practices is not enough to overcome concerns of both health and environment. Crop suitability analysis can provide crucial insights by offering vital insights into which crops have the greatest potential for cultivation in both the present and the future, supporting the transition towards climate-adaptive and nutritious food systems. The main objective of this thesis is to find out what a self-sufficient crop system, that conforms to the EAT-Lancet diet, would look like in the Netherlands in both current and future climates.
