Meat is healthy, green and vital to social and economic sustainability: frames used by the red meat industry during development of the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations Open
To reduce environmental impacts from the food system, demand-side changes, especially reductions in the consumption of animal products in high-consuming populations, are needed. This will require policies promoting red meat reductions, sin…

An exploration of biodiversity limits to grazing ruminant milk and meat production Open
The production and consumption of animal-source foods must be transformed to mitigate negative environmental outcomes, including greenhouse gas emissions and land-use change. However, livestock are also key for food production and for live…

Are Animals Needed for Food Supply, Efficient Resource Use, and Sustainable Cropping Systems? An Argumentation Analysis Regarding Livestock Farming Open
It has been argued that livestock farming is necessary to feed a growing population, that it enables efficient use of land and biomass that would otherwise be lost from the food system, that it produces manure that is necessary for crop cu…

A restatement of the natural science evidence base concerning grassland management, grazing livestock and soil carbon storage Open
Approximately a third of all annual greenhouse gas emissions globally are directly or indirectly associated with the food system, and over a half of these are linked to livestock production. In temperate oceanic regions, such as the UK, mo…

Leverage points for increased grain legume consumption: a Swedish case study Open
Food production and consumption need to substantially change to meet global environmental and public health goals. Increasing grain legume consumption in most countries is key to providing nourishing food for all while contributing to crop…
View article: Feeding straw to suckler cows spared land but did not decrease the climate impact of beef
Feeding straw to suckler cows spared land but did not decrease the climate impact of beef Open
Beef has a considerably higher climate impact than meat from monogastric animals and plant-based foods, due to methane emissions from enteric fermentation in ruminants. Animal feed production also contributes considerably to the climate im…

From “good for people” to “good for people and planet” – Placing health and environment on equal footing when developing food-based dietary guidelines Open
Dietary guidelines are a primary tool for promoting healthier and more sustainable diets. Despite several examples of dietary guidelines that consider - to various degrees - aspects of environmental sustainability, there is currently no fr…

Ambitious food system interventions required to mitigate the risk of exceeding Earth’s environmental limits Open
Transforming the global food system is essential to avoid exceeding Earth’s environmental limits. A robust evidence base is crucial to assess the scale and combination of interventions required for a sustainable transformation. We develope…
