List the factors that characterize a sustainable food system in the model described by the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

What will be an ideal response?


Broadly, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics model requires sustainable food systems to be environmentally friendly, economically viable, and socially equitable. More specifically, "environmentally friendly" means that sustainable food systems conserve and protect the natural resources used to produce, transport, and distribute foods. "Economically viable" means that people can afford to buy food, and farmers and farm workers can afford to provide food in a way that builds community wealth. "Socially equitable" means that all people, regardless of their situation, can have access to healthy and socially/culturally acceptable foods in ways that empower social responsibility and community engagement.
