Summary
This article is behind a paywall. It has been summarized below based on the content of the abstract.
The authors show that by 2050 the environmental impacts of the food system could become so severe that they exceed the limits of what is allowable to keep the planet safe for humanity (i.e., planetary boundaries). Their projections come from predicted changes in population and income levels and assume no dedicated mitigation measures to technological advances. Furthermore, they could not identify a single intervention to avert this future and call for a “synergistic combination” of measures, including shifts to healthier and more plant-based diets, reducing food loss and waste, and technological advancements.
