We are interested in contributing to Topic 3: Empowering Sustainable Food Choices – Enabling Food Environments and Dietary Shifts through our expertise in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Our team at Aarhus University is focused on evaluating the environmental impacts of sustainable food systems, including dietary shifts and the creation of food environments that promote sustainable consumption.

We aim to collaborate on research initiatives that assess and optimize food systems, exploring the environmental benefits of shifting towards more sustainable, plant-based, and resource-efficient diets. By integrating LCA methodologies, we can help evaluate the sustainability of various food production practices and innovations, ensuring that these shifts contribute to both environmental goals and public health outcomes.

Aarhus University is one of Denmark's leading universities, recognized for its cutting-edge research and interdisciplinary approach to addressing global challenges. Situated in Aarhus, the university is dedicated to advancing knowledge in environmental sustainability, food systems, and ecological practices.

At Aarhus University’s Department of Agroecology, we focus on research that combines ecological principles with agricultural practices to promote sustainable farming and food production systems. Our expertise spans Life Cycle Assessment (LCA), sustainable agriculture, soil health, and the green transition, with a strong emphasis on optimizing food systems to minimize environmental impact. We collaborate with national and international research institutions, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to develop innovative, science-based solutions for sustainable food systems.
