Transition pathways

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

The protein transition emphasizes dietary shifts from animal to alternative proteins but often neglects the need for a transformative livestock transition.

Alignment and coordination strategies for crop diversification

The development of crop diversification systems requires a high level of coordination of material flows and strategies. We highlight the diversity of crop diversification value chains and point levers to enhance the alignment and coordination of crop diversification processes.

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.
