Fig. 3: Global environmental impacts in 2050 across scenarios (REF, 10%, 25%, 50% and 90% substitution globally).
From: Feeding climate and biodiversity goals with novel plant-based meat and milk alternatives
Scenarios assume global substitution scope, all products, free trade sourcing, inefficient processing. Alternative scenario results are reported in the Supplementary Materials 4, 5 and 6. The top part of the panel (a–d) depicts results of the dietary change alone, while the bottom part (e, f, g) shows the impacts of implemented land restoration on the abandoned agricultural land. Land restoration was modeled as afforestation only within former forest ecosystems and with locally naturally occurring tree species.
