Assessing Environmental Hotspots and Sustainable Development Goal Alignment in Food Production in India.
Article in Food science & nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The global food system's unsustainable practices present considerable environmental risks while fulfilling essential nutritional needs. This study presents a comprehensive evaluation of the environmental impacts associated with commonly consumed food items in India. It focuses on eighteen representative products, grouped into five major food categories, and uses a production-focused Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) approach to analyze their environmental performance. Key environmental impacts, such as greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water consumption, and biodiversity loss, are characterized based on per capita consumption. Primary environmental hotspots in the life cycle of Indian household goods, particularly various food product categories, are identified. The findings are contextualized within several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 3, SDG 6, SDG 13, SDG 14, and SDG 15. Scenario analyses present four potential dietary shifts balancing high nutritional value with reduced environmental impact, suggesting that increasing the consumption of millets and sorghum could reduce environmental impacts by 62%-79%. This study underscores the critical role of dietary choices and sustainable agricultural practices, along with policy directives, to achieve sustainable production and consumption while enhancing nutritional adequacy.
