How will we feed 10 billion people by 2050? Billions of people worldwide love meat and want to eat more of it. But simply scaling up business-as-usual meat production is incompatible with meeting the world's climate, biodiversity, public health, and food security goals over the next two critical decades.
Many interventions will be needed, but a transition toward alternative proteins—made from plants, cultivated from animal cells, or produced via fermentation—is among the few that can scale to meet meat demand. Such a transition can cut emissions, feed more people with fewer resources, reduce antibiotic use in our food system, and free up land and water for conservation.
