T-3A1-1 - Shift to Sustainable Healthy Diets

This Transition Element is the shift from animal based diets to plant based diets.

Background

This transition element models the mitigation methods and potentials outlined in M-3C.2 - Shift to Sustainable Healthy Diets.

Transition Element

• Type of shift: Unknown
  • Note: we have opted not to model emissions for the plant-based portion of food consumption and thus this shift is for increasing the Unknown of meat protein.
• Activity: Food consumption (kgs)
• Operation: meat produced (kg)
• ATOC: proportion meat in diet
