Planetary Health, Nutrition and Chronic Kidney Disease: Connecting the Dots for a Sustainable Future

The increasing consumption of ultra-processed food (UPF) and the global chain of food production have a negative impact on human health and planetary health. These foods have been replacing the consumption of non-processed healthy foods. This shift has not only worsened human health by increasing the risk of the development of non-communicable diseases, but also resulted in environmental perturbations. This review aims to bring awareness of the problems caused by the industrialized food production chain, addressing the negative effects it has on the environment and human health, with special reference to chronic kidney disease (CKD).
