Highlights
Economic, Social and Environmental Spillovers Decrease the Benefits of a Global Dietary Shift
The authors investigated the possible social, economic, and environmental effects of implementing the EAT-Lancet diet by using a global economic model that followed biomass through supply chains.

This expansive document uses data and visualization to convey the state of various goals that the UN is striving to achieve as part of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. Goal 15, summarized here, outlines what life on land is like and goals for its improvement.
More DetailsA Stakeholders’ Pathway Towards a Future Land Use and Food System in Germany
This project gathered opinions from different stakeholder groups (from academia, public sector and private sector) regarding realistic changes in the food and land use system in Germany by 2050.
More DetailsAdoption of Plant-Based Diets Across Europe Can Improve Food Resilience Against The Russia–Ukraine Conflict
In this paper, published as a Brief Communication, researchers utilized a physical environmentally extended multiregional input-output (EEMRIO) model to assess the environmental impacts of transitioning from current national average diets to the EAT-Lancet’s plant-based planetary health diet in the European Union and the United Kingdom.
More DetailsOptions for Keeping the Food System within Environmental Limits
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).
More DetailsSilvopastoral Systems and Remnant Forests Enhance Carbon Storage in Livestock-Dominated Landscapes in Mexico
This study investigated the carbon storage of agricultural land with different land uses in Mexico. The study found that tree species richness and living tree biomass stocks were highest in primary forests, and lowest in open pasture land and fodder banks.
More DetailsClimate Change and the American Diet
Highlighting the critical nature of large scale dietary shifts towards plant-based foods in reaching climate and environmental goals, this survey assesses current behavior, knowledge, and potential for behavioral change within American consumers.
More DetailsThe Carbon Opportunity Cost of Animal-Sourced Food Production on Land
In this brief communication, the authors explore how using the land to produce foods creates a carbon opportunity cost (COC).
