Scientists at the University of Guelph have concluded that the recommendations of the USDA, according to which one should eat low-calorie foods with a small content of saturated fats, are not feasible for all mankind..

Researchers cite an acute shortage of fertile land as the reason, and a global transition to a healthy diet will cause a food crisis.. An article by specialists was published in the journal PLOS One, writes Lenta. en.

Scientists have shown that the implementation of the recommendations of the Ministry will require an additional billion hectares of cultivated land, which is comparable to the area of \u200b\u200bCanada.

In addition, based on current agricultural practices, the countries of the Eastern Hemisphere will significantly increase the area of \u200b\u200b\u200b\u200bused land, while for Western countries and Oceania, the refusal of meat and the transition to a grain diet would save on existing agricultural land..

According to the researchers, recommendations should take into account not only the impact of healthy food on the body, but also the cultural and economic characteristics of different countries.. In addition, measures should be taken to prevent future global land and moisture shortages, such as the development of drought-tolerant crops and more efficient distribution of water between regions..
