Community food hubs / social supermarkets prioritising affordable plant-based staples

Shifting toward plant-based diets can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and land use, as evidenced by studies showing that reducing meat consumption and increasing vegetable protein intake could cut annual GHG emissions by up to 61% and free up land equivalent to 8.1 billion metric tons of CO2e over 100 years. This transition supports a more sustainable food system by lowering environmental impacts while addressing the growing need for climate mitigation strategies.
