Climate change poses significant challenges to human activities, societal issues, and dietary
habits, leading to nutritional inadequacies and higher rates of non-communicable diseases. This study
explores the complex relationship between climate change and several factors influencing food
consumption patterns, such as socioeconomic status, cultural influences, environmental factors, and social
support networks. It highlights the importance of adopting sustainable diets to ensure nutritional adequacy
and mitigate adverse environmental effects. The role of political determination and civil society in
promoting these diets is emphasized, along with the impact of environmental factors like market
accessibility and local agricultural production. The review also discusses the indirect benefits of balanced
food intake on health, economic prosperity, and environmental sustainability, advocating for a
collaborative effort from individuals, governments, and civil society to address these multifaceted
challenges. Food systems' interconnectedness and ecological determinants are examined, underscoring the
necessity of maintaining environmental quality to support human health and well-being. This review aims
to foster a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing sustainable diets and the collective
actions required to promote long-term health and environmental balance.
