Mindfulness, understood as purposeful and non-judgmental awareness of the present moment, has been suggested as a psychological factor that can foster more sustainable food choices. However, the empirical evidence on the link between mindfulness and sustainable diets remains fragmented.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Main body<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      This study presents the first systematic review and meta-analysis of the association between mindfulness and sustainable dietary behaviors. Twelve articles with 13 studies, published between 2018 and 2025, were included, covering both observational and interventional designs with sample sizes ranging from 16 to 560 participants. A random-effects model revealed a small but significant positive association between mindfulness and sustainable diets (d\u2009=\u20090.28, 95% CI [0.13, 0.43]). Subgroup analyses indicated that observational studies tended to show stronger effects than interventions, and that cultural context played an important moderating role, with larger effects reported in Asian samples. Facet-specific analyses suggested that certain mindfulness dimensions \u2013 particularly observing, describing, and non-reactivity \u2013 were more strongly associated with sustainable food choices, while others showed weaker or non-significant links. A focused analysis on meat consumption revealed that mindfulness was positively associated with reduced meat intake or vegetarian dietary intentions (d\u2009=\u20090.25). Scenario modelling using national Life Cycle Assessment data from Germany, the UK, and the U.S. demonstrated that the potential reductions in meat intake could translate into substantial CO\n                      <jats:sub>2<\/jats:sub>\n                      emission savings. A full adoption of the EAT-Lancet diet was projected to result in cumulative savings of up to 11% of Germany\u2019s total emissions budget by 2040, whereas incorporating the population\u2019s willingness to reduce meat intake yielded more conservative cumulative savings of 2.8% over the same period.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This meta-analysis provides systematic evidence that mindfulness is positively associated with more sustainable dietary behavior and reduced meat consumption. While effects are modest and heterogeneous, the findings suggest that mindfulness could represent a promising lever for promoting dietary change aligned with planetary health goals. Future research should further investigate cultural differences, the role of specific mindfulness facets, and the feasibility of scaling mindfulness-based interventions to support both individual well-being and climate targets.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12937-026-01356-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,6]],"date-time":"2026-07-06T11:47:48Z","timestamp":1783338468000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Mindfulness and sustainable diets: a meta-analysis and CO2 emission savings scenarios"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"25","author":[{"given":"Anna","family":"Kosteletzky","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stephanie Margarete","family":"Thomas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2741-3759","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Carmen","family":"Jochem","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,7,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"1356_CR1","unstructured":"Lee H, Calvin K, Dasgupta D, Krinner G, Mukherji A, Thorne PW et al.
