DSFS launched the first in a planned series of conversations with authors of articles on sustainable diets and sustainable dietary guidance on June 27 with Tim Lang from the UK, perhaps the best-known proponent of sustainable diets — a concept first coined in a 1986 JNE article by Gussow and Clancy. During the one-hour phone call, Tim provided brief remarks on the article, "Sustainable Diets: Hairshirts or a better food future?" and new book, Sustainable Diets: How Ecological Nutrition Can Transform Consumption and the Food System.
