Climate impact by food group for the current and scenario diets in relation to the EAT-Lancet climate boundary—with the higher (solid line) and lower (dotted line) uncertainty range—scaled down to per capita based on the global population in 2045 (kg CO2 eq. per day) by food group for the current and each scenario diet; OTHER = OIL CROPS, SPICES, MISCELLANEOUS, WILD FOOD; ALT-EST alternatives to animal source foods produced using established technologies (e.g., tofu, tempeh, soy and non-soy meat, milks, cheese), ALT-EMERG alternatives to animal source foods produced using emerging technologies (e.g., cultured meat/milk, microbial protein/fats). Note that these emission estimates assume no reduction in supply-chain fossil energy use, food waste, nor agriculture-driven deforestation compared to current levels.
