Seminar on the Paradoxes of the Protein Transition

You are warmly welcome to attend a seminar I will be giving on June 5th from 12 to 13 p.m. (Belgian time zone). The seminar will tackle the paradoxes of the protein transition, defined as the dietary shift from animal to alternative protein sources.

The paradoxes of the protein transition maintain existing animal production and consumption systems

This perspective paper delves into the Paradoxes of the protein transition, also looking at the socio-technical lock-in of European protein production systems towards animal protein production systems.

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.

Scenarios for the future of the livestock sector in Belgium

What is the current situation of the livestock sector? To which extent is there a diversity of production systems? What would be the consequences of different scenarios for the development of the sector in terms of production, consumption and environmental impacts?
