Can we achieve the protein transition without tackling the livestock transition?

The poster highlights that the protein transition, which focuses on shifting diets from animal to alternative proteins, often overlooks the production side, specifically the need for a parallel livestock transition. Key drivers include environmental sustainability, health concerns, and animal welfare. The concept of a livestock transition remains underdefined, raising questions about whether the goals of the protein transition can be achieved without transforming livestock production. Different narratives shape the discourse, and key industry players are involved in both traditional and alternative protein markets. Ongoing research aims to quantify the impacts of pursuing both transitions together. Poster_LEAP_2024_Duluins080424
