Summary
Accelerating the transition from animal-based to alternative dietary proteins – the dietary shift – is key to
reducing the footprint of our food system in terms of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), energy, water and land use, and
other relevant environmental impacts, and for improving the health and well-being of people, animals and the planet.
GIANT LEAPS delivers the strategic innovations, methodologies, and open-access datasets to speed up this dietary shift,
in line with the Farm-to-Fork strategy and contributing to the Green Deal target of reaching climate neutrality by 2050.
