The Barilla Center for Food and Nutrition (BCFN) has produced an updated version of the traditional Food Pyramid based on the Mediterranean Diet in order to assess the simultaneous impact that food has on human health and the environment. The Double Pyramid model demonstrates how the foods recommended to be consumed most frequently are also those exerting less environmental impact, whereas the foods that should be consumed less frequently are those characterized by a higher environmental impact. This paper will present the scientific underpinnings of the Double Pyramid as well as its usefulness as a framework for appraising and comparing the impacts of different consumption patterns.
