Demand-side food system action, including a culturally appropriate 40 per cent global shift to the ‘Planetary Health Diet (Exponential Roadmap & EAT-Lancet) and halving per capita food waste. Adoption of healthy, locally-appropriate, and sustainable diets in line with global goals, respecting socio-cultural sensitivities and geographic variations. This includes increasing the global consumption per capita of fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and legumes by 1.5x, while also significantly increasing the share of alternative plant-based proteins in the meat and seafood markets.
