“…A diet high in processed foods, sugar, fats, and sodium can raise the risk of chronic diseases like obesity, heart disease, and some types of cancer. Conversely, a diet rich in fruit, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats provides the nutrients our bodies need to support healthy bodily functions and strengthen our immune systems [12].…”

In a time when the relationship between one’s own health and the health of the planet is more intertwined than ever, the idea of sustainable nutrition appears as a tenet for promoting both planetary and individual balance. This article explores the complex connection between our diet and physical health, highlighting the significant influence our food choices have on the environment. Fundamentally, sustainable nutrition promotes an intentional eating style that goes beyond individual health restrictions. It invites people to think about how their food choices may affect the environment more broadly. Given that eating habits have a significant impact on ecological footprints, the article promotes a switch to plant-based diets, stressing the sustainable production of a variety of crops that support biodiversity and reduce the strain on natural resources. It examines the damage that modern industrialized agriculture causes to the environment and emphasizes the need of using organic and regenerative farming techniques. It also promotes lowering carbon footprints by consuming seasonal, local produce, which has positive effects on the environment and the economy. The article addresses the issue of global food waste and suggests composting, careful meal planning, and backing initiatives to reduce food waste in order to reduce landfill methane emissions. The present review employs a methodology that includes a thorough literature review and an objective evaluation of studies conducted in an area of sustainable development. It also aims to identify trends, challenges, and potential directions for future exploration. To sum up, it aims to shed light on the mutually beneficial relationship between individual and global health. This article aims to inspire a collective commitment to nourishing not only our bodies but also the Earth we call our home, by encouraging mindfulness in dietary choices, advocating for sustainable food systems, and promoting education. As we embark on this journey towards sustainable nutrition, we lay the foundation for a healthier, more resilient future for both ourselves and the planet.

“…Manufacturers and retailers of food products are in a perfect position to point out areas of high food waste. Pimental et al [90] analysed factors that can reduce waste in the supply chain from a retailer's perspective. The study showed that there were up to 46 factors that can help reduce food waste, and it was concluded that retailers are in a very good position to monitor waste reduction.…”

Food waste is a global issue with significant economic, social, and environmental impacts. Addressing this problem requires a multifaceted approach; one promising avenue is using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies. This article explores the potential for AI to tackle food waste and enhance the circular economy and discusses the current state of food waste and the circular economy, highlighting specific ways that AI can be used to monitor and optimise food production and supply chains, redistribute excess food to those in need, and support circular economy initiatives. As a result, we can maximise resource efficiency and minimise environmental impact with these applications, ultimately creating a more sustainable and equitable food system.

“…Consumers expect retailers to contribute to the overall progress of society by improving the consumer's in-store experience. Consumers are interested in the socio-ethical behaviour of retailers (Pimentel et al, 2022) and the good practices adopted by them in order to implement ethical principles in their activities (Dabija et al, 2016).…”

This paper presents research on precursors that can generate unique and attractive retail experiences when using artificial intelligence. Among them are safe technology, ethical aspects, and customer-friendly technology. The motivation for choosing this topic is that it gives a global, current perspective and arouses interest, curiosity, uncertainty, even fear. Quantitative research was implemented with the help of an online questionnaire. The conceptual model derived from the literature was then analysed through regression analysis. Data collected from 272 consumers allowed the research hypotheses to be validated. The results reveal that artificial intelligence applied in retail is the solution for achieving higher performance in the retail field, but without being used unethically. The results provide an overview of AI in retail today, with survey participants expressing confidence in AI’s ability to improve their shopping experience. The originality of the research consists of approaching for the first time in the considered emerging market the perception of consumers toward the vectors that enhance their in-store shopping expectations. Considering the direction in which technology is evolving and based on the arguments of specialists, it can be stated that Artificial Intelligence will represent an element of distinction and competitive advantage. Companies in the retail sector that will invest in the development of Artificial Intelligence will benefit in the long term. Artificial intelligence should not be absent from the retail context, and further investment should be made in its development. The present study did not determine the actual purchase experience in virtual retail stores but was based on a hypothetical situation. Also, this study used a limited sample of respondents, with only Millennials participating. A future research perspective could be based on this study, but using a larger and more representative sample.
