Meat & Protein

Over the last decade, meat, fish and other animal-source foods have been in the spotlight for theirenvironmental, public health, social and animal welfare impacts. With sustainability concerns growing and many calling for a ‘protein transition’, significant investments have been made in plant-based and lab-based substituteproducts, often by conventional meat processors. The full impacts of different modes of animal agriculture, and different types of protein production, therefore need to be clearly understood - from energy requirements to land use changes, from food security and cultural implications to working conditionsand power relations. IPES-Food will publish on this topic in April 2022.
