claimShifting dietary patterns involves tradeoffs between policy goals, such as a shift to plant-based foods reducing greenhouse gas emissions while potentially resulting in higher water usage.

claimFood systems simultaneously generate significant greenhouse gas emissions contributing to climate change, underpin dietary patterns associated with a global escalation of non-communicable diseases, leave millions undernourished, and allow for the exploitation of food system workers.
