Environmental trade-offs of meeting nutritional requirements with a lower share of animal protein for adult subpopulations by J. Aubin, F. Vieux, S. Le Féon, M. Tharrey, J.L. Peyraud, N. Darmon

“…Conversely, it increased three environmental impacts: freshwater eutrophication and water use (both by ca. 40%) and biodiversity damage potential (potential loss of species associated with land use) (by 66%). These results suggest that decreasing the share of animal protein to 50% is compatible with nutritional requirements, affordability and consumption constraints, but would have mixed effects on the environment.…”
