Plant-Based Dairy Alternatives in Sustainable Diets

This infographic summarizes findings from recent scientific reviews examining the nutritional profile and environmental impact of plant-based dairy alternatives (PBDA) in Europe. It outlines how products such as soya, oat, almond, rice, and coconut compare in terms of nutrient composition, with attention to protein adequacy, micronutrient fortification, and differences between organic and non-organic options. The resource also places PBBDAs within the context of food-based dietary guidelines and highlights their potential role in supporting more sustainable dietary patterns.
