Transition pathways

A systematic review of the definitions, narratives and paths forwards for a protein transition in high-income countries

The article's main findings shed light on the lack of definitions of the protein transition, divergent opinions on protein reduction or replacement in diets, and a notable oversight of systematic change by focusing solely on the nutritional function of proteins.
