Environmental impact of omnivorous, ovo-lacto-vegetarian, and vegan diet

Abstract Food and beverage consumption has a great impact on the environment, although there is a lack of information concerning the whole diet. The environmental impact of 153 Italian adults (51 omnivores, 51 ovo-lacto-vegetarians, 51 vegans) and the inter-individual variability within dietary grou...
