Australian Consumers’ Response to Insects as Food (2019, background): “, greenhouse gas emissions, loss in biodiversity, and other negative consequences for the ecosystem) compared to vegetable-based foods [7,8].”
Comparative analysis of environmental impacts of agricultural production systems, agricultural input efficiency, and food choice (2017, background): “Despite current knowledge gaps, it is clear that current agricultural trajectories would substantially increase agriculture’s environmental impacts by midcentury (Tilman et al 2001,Tilman et al 2011, Bajzelj et al 2014, Tilman and Clark 2014).”
Rewiring food systems to enhance human health and biosphere stewardship (2017, background): “However, globalized trade also means that similar food commodities are available globally, streamlining diets and facilitating increasingconsumptionof saturated fats, redmeats, and empty carbohydrates [50, 51].”
Crop wild relatives of pigeonpea [Cajanus cajan (L.) Millsp.]: Distributions, ex situ conservation status, and potential genetic resources for abiotic stress tolerance (2015, background): “Although gains in food availability may partially be obtained through dietary change and waste reduction (Tilman and Clark, 2014; West et al., 2014), a transition toward more sustainable, yet highly productive, agricultural systems is necessary.”
Consumer trust in the food value chain and its impact on consumer confidence: A model for assessing consumer trust and evidence from a 5-country study in Europe (2020, background): “World population is rising and income-dependent dietary shifts are observed with economic growth (Tilman & Clark, 2014).”
Multiple health and environmental impacts of foods (2019, neutral): “Global diets have been shifting toward greater consumption of foods associated with increased disease risk or higher environmental impacts and are projected to lead to rapid increases in diet-related diseases and environmental degradation (12, 13, 48 – 50).”
Reply to Second comment on ‘The climate mitigation gap: education and government recommendations miss the most effective individual actions’ (2017, background): “For example, western cultural norms associate meat with wealth, status and luxury (Ruby 2012) and meat consumption per capita in the richest 15 nations is 750% higher than in the poorest 24 nations (Tilman and Clark 2014).”
The climate mitigation gap: education and government recommendations miss the most effective individual actions (2018, background): “For example, western cultural norms associate meat with wealth, status and luxury (Ruby 2012) and meat consumption per capita in the richest 15 nations is 750% higher than in the poorest 24 nations (Tilman and Clark 2014).”
The environmental sustainability of insects as food and feed. A review (2017, background): “This can be achieved by substituting animal protein with vegetable protein and making a transition from ruminants (e.g., cattle and sheep) (McAlpine et al. 2009; Tilman and Clark 2014; Bryngelsson et al. 2016) to lower impact species (e.g., pigs and poultry) (Steinfeld and Gerber 2010).”
Evaluating agricultural trade-offs in the age of sustainable development (2016, background): “This situation makes it essential to navigate and manage the trade-offs between potential benefits and negative impacts that can arise as food production interacts with other aspects of sustainable agricultural systems (Millenium Ecosystem Assessment, 2005; Tilman et al., 2009; Godfray et al., 2010;”
Nutrition Transition and the Structure of Global Food Demand (2017, background): “In addition to the FAO’s efforts, a few other studies have tried to estimate world demand for food (Cranfield et al., 1998; Yu et al., 2004; Tilman et al., 2011; Gao, 2012; Tilman and Clark, 2014; Bodirsky et al., 2015).”
