Review: The need for holistic, sector-tailored sustainability assessments for milk− and plant-based beverages by E. Maree, J.N. Blignaut, C.J.L. Du Toit, H.H. Meissner, P. Ederer

“…From a nutritional perspective, it identified existing measures such as nutritional life-cycle analysis, hybrid nutrient−rich food index, nutrient−rich food adjusted for adequate intake and nutrient deficiencies, as well as the priority micronutrient density score, as methods which consider broader nutrient profiles and utilise more recent research, and therefore serve as a basis for future models. Major limitations exist in the incorporation of bioavailability or the food matrix effect in such measures, as well as food-group−specific indices. …”
