Comparative life cycle assessment of plant- and animal-based meats

Discover the robust insights from a new life cycle assessment (LCA) comparing the environmental impact of plant-based and animal-based meats in our webinar on December 3rd. Conducted by EarthShift Global and commissioned by GFI, this ISO-certified LCA is the most comprehensive open-access analysis to date, leveraging commercial-scale data to understand how different ingredients and production methods influence the environmental benefits of plant-based meat. Led by the report’s authors, this session will offer exclusive insights into the environmental benefits of diversifying the protein supply, underscoring how plant-based alternatives, no matter how they are made, can reduce greenhouse gas emissions, resource depletion, and pollution. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how alternative proteins can contribute to a more resilient global food supply and why strong public investments are crucial to drive innovation, scale the industry, and make plant-based meat more affordable and accessible. This event is designed for scientists, policymakers, industry leaders, and all those interested in a more sustainable global food system.
