摘要

为应对当前的可持续性挑战,欧盟委员会的目标是向植物性饮食以及更短、区域化的价值链过渡。以豆类为基础的肉类和乳制品替代品(LBAs)被视为食品系统转型的重要工具,可以用高蛋白植物来源替代动物蛋白质。然而,区域化的豆类肉类和乳制品价值链需要豆类生产商、豆类肉类和乳制品生产商以及消费者的共同参与,而我们对欧洲此类价值链的现状和未来潜力缺乏了解。在本文中,我们整合了公开数据集和从网络上获取的豆类生产商位置清单,以绘制欧洲豆类价值链的区域优势图。利用制造商的愿景和员工访谈,我们对参与者如何看待他们在植物性食品系统转型中的角色进行了探索性评估,从而对空间分析进行了补充。缺乏 LBA 生产商是更多区域价值链(尤其是在东欧)面临的最普遍障碍,这表明需要基础设施和政策来激励价值链创新,并在豆类生产商、加工商、LBA 生产商和消费者之间建立新的联系。在我们的样本中,LBA 生产商表达了不同的价值观,因此可以在可持续性转型中发挥互补作用。然而,全球生产商明显不太可能具有与系统性变革相关的愿景。总之,我们的研究结果展示了扩大区域化 LBA 价值链的潜力,以改善整个欧盟的可持续性,但区域化不一定在所有地方都能实现,这凸显了对植物性蛋白质转型采取跨规模、针对具体情况的方法的必要性。

Linking production, processing, and consumption of plant-based protein alternatives in Europe
To confront current sustainability challenges, the European Commission aims to transition towards plant-based diets as well as shorter, regionalized value chains. Legume-based meat and dairy alternatives (LBAs) are seen as an important tool in the food system transition, replacing protein from animals with high-protein plant-based sources. However, regionalized LBA value chains require the co-occurrence of legume producers, LBA manufacturers, and consumers, and we lack understanding of the current status and future potential for such value chains in Europe. In this article, we integrate publicly-available datasets with a web-derived inventory of LBA manufacturer locations to map the regional strength of LBA value chains across Europe. Using manufacturers’ visions and employee interviews, we complement the spatial analysis with an exploratory assessment of how actors perceive their role in a plant-based food system transition.
Regions in north-western Europe demonstrate (moderately) strong value chains for regionalized LBAs, yet few regions contain all three value chain nodes. The absence of LBA manufacturers is the most widespread barrier for more regional value chains (particularly in Eastern Europe), suggesting a need for infrastructure and policies that incentivize innovation in the value chain and new connections between legume producers, processors, LBA manufacturers, and consumers. LBA manufacturers in our sample express diverse values and therefore could play complementary roles in sustainability transitions. However, global manufacturers are markedly less likely to have visions related to systemic change. Together, our results showcase the potential to expand regionalized LBA value chains to improve sustainability throughout the EU, but regionalisation may not be possible everywhere, highlighting the need for a cross-scale and context-specific approach to plant-based protein transitions.

期刊介绍: Global Environmental Change is a prestigious international journal that publishes articles of high quality, both theoretically and empirically rigorous. The journal aims to contribute to the understanding of global environmental change from the perspectives of human and policy dimensions. Specifically, it considers global environmental change as the result of processes occurring at the local level, but with wide-ranging impacts on various spatial, temporal, and socio-political scales. In terms of content, the journal seeks articles with a strong social science component. This includes research that examines the societal drivers and consequences of environmental change, as well as social and policy processes that aim to address these challenges. While the journal covers a broad range of topics, including biodiversity and ecosystem services, climate, coasts, food systems, land use and land cover, oceans, urban areas, and water resources, it also welcomes contributions that investigate the drivers, consequences, and management of other areas affected by environmental change. Overall, Global Environmental Change encourages research that deepens our understanding of the complex interactions between human activities and the environment, with the goal of informing policy and decision-making.
