- Abstract
- The protein transition is both a subject of political discussion and a hot topic for large companies’ strategy. Presented as a solution to the problems resulting from animal protein overconsumption and overproduction in high-income settings, the appropriation of the concept by actors of various sectors, including the state, market, and non-profit sector, has brought the protein transition to the border between a techno-centric and a politico-centric transition. Based on a comprehensive literature review, we identified i) a diversity of definitions and interpretations of the protein transition, ii) the key challenges that it promises to address, and iii) claims associated with the protein transition outputs., We identified different narratives describing how to proceed with the protein transition (i.e., the driver of change, the target(s), and the potential transition pathways), showing that these narratives are embedded in different scientific paradigms, consisting of varying transition trajectories.
