Abstract
The role of one consumption-based solution: shifting the diets of populations who consume high amounts of calories, protein, and animal-based foods are analysed. Specifically, we consider three interconnected diet shifts: 1. Reduce overconsumption of calories. 2. Reduce overconsumption of protein by reducing consumption of animal-based foods. 3. Reduce consumption of beef specifically.
