  • The global demand for meat and animal products negatively impacts climate, air and water quality, biodiversity, human health, and animal welfare, necessitating an urgent shift toward plant-based diets and a move away from industrial meat production in high-consumption regions.
  • Policies aimed at restricting production practices or increasing meat prices can significantly impact society because meat supply chains support many livelihoods and are tied to cultural traditions; therefore, a just transition approach is required to protect vulnerable stakeholders and increase public support.
  • While the concept of just transitions is well-established in the energy sector, it is only beginning to be recognized in food production, leading the authors to identify key affected stakeholders—including consumers, farmers, workers, communities, and companies—and establish five guiding principles for decision-makers.
