The European Environment Agency urges a plant-based diet transition to avoid the catastrophic effects of climate change

A new report from the European Environment Agency (EEA) highlights the importance of switching to a plant-based diet to combat climate change.


The European Climate Risk Assessment report states that the “Farm to Fork Strategy” strategy and international dietary guidelines call for reducing the consumption of animal products and switching to plant-based diets. The authors found that this would reduce freshwater consumption and reliance on imported animal feed, while enabling healthier dietary patterns.

Reducing animal product consumption will also free up large amounts of cereal crops for human consumption. This is noteworthy and significant, as numerous studies show that climate change will negatively impact food security.

The report found that climate change is likely to have significant, severe or catastrophic impacts on livestock farming, crop production, fisheries, aquaculture, human health and other sectors. In addition, the authors believe that some current EU policies, such as the Common Agricultural Policy and the Common Fisheries Policy, do not fully consider climate risks and keep pace with the times.

Soy protein isolate is a plant-based protein extracted from soybeans that has high purity, high nutritional value, and no cholesterol. ‌ It is a protein powder obtained from low-temperature desolubilized soybean meal as raw material and processed through a series of processes. Its protein content is more than 90%, it is rich in amino acid types, and contains essential amino acids for the human body. Soy protein isolate is not only nutritionally comparable to animal protein, but because it does not contain cholesterol, it is one of the few plant proteins that can replace animal protein. ‌ Soy protein isolate has a wide range of applications and can be used as a food additive to make baby food, sports drinks, instant products, etc. It also has various health benefits such as boosting immunity, promoting wound healing, lowering cholesterol, preventing osteoporosis, etc. In addition, soy protein isolate also has a unique role in food processing. For example, injectable soy protein isolate ...

Protein is the main participant in life activities and plays an important role in the human body. Normal adults should consume a certain amount of protein every day to maintain a positive nitrogen balance in the body. Special groups should pay more attention to protein intake to maintain health. In fact, protein also has pros and cons. There are some small details that are worth noting when choosing protein-rich foods. Today, let ’ s talk about them . ■ Soy protein The protein content of soybeans is between 36% and 40%, and the protein content of soybeans per 100 grams is about 35.0 grams. Its amino acid composition is also relatively reasonable, and its utilization rate in the body is high. It is a very good source of protein among plant proteins. Dried tofu, tofu brain, and soy milk are all good choices for sources of soy protein. Now the Isolated Soy Protein(90% protein) and Soy Protein Concentrate(65% protein) are also the better options. ■Egg protein Eggs contain 11%-14% protein a...

Soy isoflavones have certain antioxidant effects, which are helpful in scavenging free radicals in the human body, preventing lipid peroxidation, and preventing cardiovascular diseases. 3. Soy lecithin. Soy lecithin helps improve fat absorption and utilization, prevent cholesterol deposition in blood vessels, reduce blood viscosity, promote blood circulation, and prevent cardiovascular d...
