About SustDiet
Integrating Sustainability in Athletes Dietary Choices – SustDiet was focused on promoting sustainable food consumption and supporting the transition towards healthy and sustainable diets in sport. Implemented across Germany, Greece, Malta, Portugal, Spain and Türkiye, it addressed the need to integrate sustainability into sport nutrition by raising awareness among athletes, coaches, trainers, fitness instructors and sport nutrition professionals about the impact of food choices on health, performance and the environment.
The project developed practical resources and educational tools to help professional and non-professional athletes adopt more sustainable dietary
habits and become role models for change. Through guidelines, an online training and awareness-raising programme, a digital nutrition education tool
and policy recommendations, the project supported the integration of sustainability principles into sport nutrition practices and national dietary guidelines.
