“…Global CH 4 levels are rising despite many attempts to control them, including through the Global Methane Pledge signed by over 150 countries [58], which was eventually supported by Australia. The food system is responsible for up to 37% of global GHG emissions and affects nearly every planetary boundary [59,60]. Ruminant animals are the main sources of CH 4 emissions through enteric fermentation and CH 4 levels are predicted to increase as global population grows to over 9.7 billion with rising consumption of meat and dairy per person as a dietary trend globally [61].…”

Although Australia remains committed to the Paris Agreement and to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, it was late in joining the 2021 Global Methane Pledge. Finding suitable methane (CH4) mitigation solutions for Australia’s livestock industry should be part of this journey. Based on a 2020–2023 systematic literature review and multicriteria decision approach, this study analyses the available strategies for the Australian beef and dairy sector under three scenarios: baseline, where all assessment criteria are equally weighted; climate emergency, with a significant emphasis on CH4 reduction for cattle in pasture and feedlot systems; and conservative, where priority is given to reducing costs. In total, 46 strategies from 27 academic publications were identified and classified as ‘Avoid’, ‘Shift’, or ‘Improve’ with respect to their impact on current CH4 emissions. The findings indicate that ‘Avoid’ strategies of conversion of agricultural land to wetlands, salt marshes, and tidal forest are most efficient in the climate emergency scenario, while the ‘Improve’ strategy of including CH4 production in the cattle breeding goals is the best for the conservative and baseline scenarios. A policy mix that encourages a wide range of strategies is required to ensure CH4 emission reductions and make Australia’s livestock industry more sustainable.

Moreover, manufacturers often use various additives to mimic the texture and flavor of traditional meat.…”

“…The current patterns of meat consumption have been linked to undesirable environmental consequences (like greenhouse gas emissions, pollution, and biodiversity loss), as well as deleterious human health effects (like cardiovascular disease, cancer, and obesity) [5]. Transitioning to a more plant-based diet could eliminate or reduce these problems [6].…”

“…Consequently, it is important that the emerging plant-based food industry carefully craft its products and considers food safety and nutrition issues and promotes healthiness. These issues depend on the nature of the ingredients and processes used to create PBMAs, necessitating control over their nutrient composition, digestibility, and bioaccessibility [1] and must, therefore, be considered on a case-by-case basis [6]. Researchers have highlighted the importance of providing consumers with information about the nutritional quality of PMBAs when compared to real meat, so they can make more informed decisions [13,14].…”

“…Recognize that the support for the benefits of meat substitutes may not be as robust as some claims suggest, emphasizing the need for further research in this area. 6 Rubio et al, 2020 [53] Express concerns about including LegH in PBM due to correlations between heme iron intake and a heightened risk of diabetes.…”

The market for plant-based meat alternatives is growing to meet consumer demands for a more sustainable, ethical, and healthy diet, as well as to address global food security issues linked to an increasing global population and climate change. Increased consumption of plant-based meat products raises questions about potential food safety risks, including concerns about allergenicity, toxicity, foodborne pathogens, and adequate nutritional composition. From a public health perspective, there has been limited research on the nutritional and health aspects of plant-based meat products, and studies of potential food safety risks of these novel protein sources are not well documented. Much of the research on the nutrition and safety of these foods has been commissioned or funded by companies developing these products, or by other organizations promoting them. This article reviews the existing literature and analyses the potential food safety and health risks associated with plant-based meat products, including nutritional, chemical, microbiological, and allergen concerns. This review has revealed several research gaps that merit further exploration to inform the conversation around the future development and commercialization of plant-based meat substitutes. Further research, technological advancements, food standards, and risk assessment and a multidisciplinary approach are essential to address safety concerns and facilitate the responsible use of new-generation plant-based meat alternatives, particularly for emerging foods with limited knowledge of their risks and benefits.
