Nutrició ambiental - Environmental nutrition: from a novel methodology to integrate healthiness and environmental impact of foods, to the first Spanish nLCA database

The major objective of this research proposal is to response to the call made by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) to advance on the development of nutritional-Life Cycle Assessments (nLCAs). This general objective gathers three specific goals:
1. Identifying and evaluating published food-based nutritional quality indices or healthiness indicators.
2. Determining the methodology to integrate nutritional quality/healthiness indicators into nLCAs of foods and diets.
3. Applying Spanish nLCA database to validate a tool to screen dietary sustainability among Spaniards
