Background: Problems such as worldwide population growth, climate change and depletion of natural resources increase the importance of sustainable nutrition. Sustainable nutrition is an approach that promotes healthy food choices, taking into account environmental, social and economic impacts. This approach affects not only the environment, but also the health of individuals and social equity. Eating mindfulness supports individuals to make both healthy and environmentally friendly choices by increasing their sensory and mental attention while eating. University students are an important target group for raising sustainability awareness as they develop independent eating habits during this period. However, it is seen that young individuals are not sufficiently informed about sustainable nutrition and eating awareness.
Aim: This study aims to examine the relationship between eating awareness and sustainable eating habits of university students.
Expected Results of the Study:
It is expected to determine the relationship between eating awareness levels and sustainable eating habits of university students. The findings are expected to show that students with high levels of eating awareness are more prone to sustainable eating habits. In addition, the links between physical activity level and sustainable nutrition will also be revealed, and it is thought that it can be concluded that physically active students are more sensitive to environmental awareness and sustainable food preferences.
