This paper presents a “roadmap” towards achieving net zero in global food systems by 2050 - a plan which has recently been called for by institutional investors. The authors explore 64 pathways to net zero based on implementing varying levels of four major food systems interventions: increasing production efficiency through shifting to low-emissions practices; sequestering carbon in croplands and grasslands; changing diets to reduce the global production of protein from livestock; and adopting a diverse range of “new-horizon” - i.e. emerging - technologies such as methane inhibitors and perennial row crops.

The global availability of food calories for people could increase by 13%, and protein supply could increase by 15%, if livestock were fed more by-products and residues in place of some feed that is edible to humans, specifically cereals, pulses, vegetable oils and whole fish. This study combines data from several sources to trace feed composition throughout the global food system.

The Good Food Institute has launched a database of over 500 research papers, books, reports, patents and theses on plant-based meats and proteins. The database can be searched and filtered, for example by keyword.

This book discusses how the net zero transition and associated changes in land use, farming and diets could affect the UK food system.

This book gives an overview of the state of knowledge on health and sustainable diets, making the case for a diet based on whole, unprocessed plant foods. It is aimed at health professionals.

This book explores the stories of local and heritage varieties of vegetables such as peas, fava beans, asparagus, squash and sweetcorn, looking at how they relate to the history of globalisation, politics and colonisation in the global food system.

This report from the Global Alliance for the Future of Food describes ten case studies from across the globe of food initiatives that promote human, animal and ecological health, ranging from Thai government policy on reducing antimicrobial resistance to a land and food-based approach to Indigenous healthcare in Canada and an organic fruit and vegetable distributor in the Netherlands. It is aimed at healthcare and public health professionals.
