Modern society today is witnessing a double crisis that seriously threatens the future - a human health crisis and a climate crisis. A change towards sustainable eating patterns can have a positive impact on both challenges. Sustainable nutrition has a low impact on the environment, contributes to food security and a healthy life for current and future generations, protects and respects biodiversity and the ecosystem, is culturally acceptable, affordable, economically fair and available, nutritionally rich, safe and healthy while optimizing natural and human resources. Individual dietary patterns are often inappropriate and result in an increase in the frequency of obesity and chronic non-communicable diseases, while at the same time they have a strong negative impact on the environment, contributing to climate change. Diet patterns with a high intake of plant-based foods, low intake of animal proteins and processed foods, which include the Mediterranean, anti-inflammatory and EAT-Lancet Planetary Healthy Diet results in better lipid status, less obesity, and are also proven to be sustainable. To assess the impact of individual nutrition on the environment, carbon, water and ecological footprints are most often used as markers. The review of the literature showed that there are no works dealing with the connection of dietary patterns, environmental impact and parameters of health status among the student population, so it is to be expected that this project will contribute significantly to scientific knowledge.
