Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Public Health
  • Sociology

Background:

  • Breastfeeding offers significant nutritional and immunological benefits for infants, improving survival and long-term health outcomes.
  • It also reduces maternal risks for certain cancers and contributes to overall well-being.
  • Despite established benefits, global exclusive breastfeeding rates remain suboptimal, and it's often overlooked in sustainability and One Health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize evidence on breastfeeding as a sustainable food system.
  • To highlight its multifaceted benefits across human health, environmental impact, and social determinants.
  • To position breastfeeding as a key intervention for achieving Sustainable Development Goals.

Main Methods:

  • This narrative review synthesizes existing scientific literature and evidence.
  • It integrates data across human health, environmental impact, and social factors.
  • The review analyzes breastfeeding's role within broader sustainability and One Health frameworks.

Main Results:

  • Breastfeeding is a low-carbon, zero-waste system, minimizing environmental impact compared to commercial formula production (e.g., reduced greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water consumption).
  • It yields substantial societal benefits, including reduced healthcare costs, enhanced resilience during supply chain disruptions, and long-term economic advantages.
  • Breastfeeding significantly improves infant health, neurodevelopment, and metabolic outcomes while lowering maternal cancer risks.

Conclusions:

  • Breastfeeding is a strategic One Health intervention with profound implications for public health and environmental sustainability.
  • Investing in breastfeeding support is vital for achieving multiple Sustainable Development Goals.
  • Strengthening policy support, including protections against formula marketing and improved workplace accommodations, is essential to maximize breastfeeding's benefits.
