Abstract

In this qualitative study, we explored Portuguese adolescents' perceptions of diet, sustainability, and health through six focus group discussions (FGDs). Fifty-five adolescents (10-18 years) participated. FGDs focused on sustainability in food choices and its health impact, with our primary interest in their perceptions. Results showed a limited comprehension of "sustainable/sustainability," especially among younger participants. Those aware of sustainability recognized its diverse aspects, including health, economic, and ecological domains. Some adolescents recognized the link between health and sustainability in their diets, emphasizing the need for food literacy. These findings emphasize the importance of public health and sustainable policies among Portuguese adolescents.

青少年对健康和可持续饮食的看法:葡萄牙学校定性研究。
在这项定性研究中,我们通过六次焦点小组讨论(FGDs)探讨了葡萄牙青少年对饮食、可持续性和健康的看法。55 名青少年(10-18 岁)参加了讨论。焦点小组讨论的重点是食物选择的可持续性及其对健康的影响,我们主要关注他们的看法。结果表明,青少年对 "可持续/可持续性 "的理解有限,尤其是年龄较小的参与者。了解可持续发展的人认识到可持续发展的各个方面,包括健康、经济和生态领域。一些青少年认识到了健康与饮食可持续性之间的联系,强调了食品知识普及的必要性。这些发现强调了公共卫生和可持续政策在葡萄牙青少年中的重要性。

期刊介绍: Ecology of Food and Nutrition is an international journal of food and nutrition in the broadest sense. The journal publishes peer-reviewed articles on all aspects of food and nutrition -- ecological, biological, and cultural. Ecology of Food and Nutrition strives to become a forum for disseminating scholarly information on the holistic and cross-cultural dimensions of the study of food and nutrition. It emphasizes foods and food systems not only in terms of their utilization to satisfy human nutritional needs and health, but also to promote and contest social and cultural identity. The content scope is thus wide -- articles may focus on the relationship between food and nutrition, food taboos and preferences, ecology and political economy of food, the evolution of human nutrition, changes in food habits, food technology and marketing, food and identity, and food sustainability. Additionally, articles focusing on the application of theories and methods to address contemporary food and nutrition problems are encouraged. Questions of the relationship between food/nutrition and culture are as germane to the journal as analyses of the interactions among nutrition and environment, infection and human health.
