Abstract

As we navigate the complexities of a rapidly changing food landscape, plant-based meat alternatives offer a compelling vision of a more sustainable, ethical, and inclusive future. From reducing our environmental footprint and promoting animal welfare to improving public health and fostering culinary innovation, the rise of plant-based meats represents a transformative shift in how we nourish ourselves and our planet. Consumption of Plant based meat products also aligns with sustainable developments goals (SDG 2, 3, 12, 13 & 15). Therefore, continued innovation, collaboration, and conscious consumption can leverage these alternatives to build a resilient and equitable food system for future generations. Despite their rapid growth, the plant-based meat industry faces both challenges and opportunities. The hypothetical question raised about its nutritive value continues to be a topic of debate. In view to that, this comprehensive review emphasized into the plant-based industry's evolution, explores its key drivers, assesses its environmental and ethical impacts, and evaluates its future potential.

植物性肉类替代品的兴起：挑战和观点

当我们应对瞬息万变的食品环境的复杂性时，植物性肉类替代品提供了一个更可持续、更道德、更包容的未来的令人信服的愿景。从减少我们的环境足迹和促进动物福利到改善公众健康和促进烹饪创新，植物性肉类的兴起代表了我们如何滋养自己和地球的革命性转变。植物性肉制品的消费也符合可持续发展目标(可持续发展目标2、3、12、13和amp；15)。因此，持续的创新、合作和有意识的消费可以利用这些替代方案，为子孙后代建立一个有弹性和公平的粮食系统。尽管发展迅速，但植物性肉类行业面临着挑战和机遇。关于其营养价值的假设性问题仍然是一个争论的话题。鉴于此，本综述强调了植物基产业的发展，探讨了其主要驱动因素，评估了其环境和伦理影响，并评估了其未来潜力。
