Correction to: Nature Sustainability https://doi-org.ezp.sub.su.se/10.1038/s41893-024-01398-4 , published online 25 July 2024. In the version of the article initially published, in Fig. 4a the colours in the key were switched and have now been amended so that “Total meat” is red and “Total milk” is green, and in Fig. 4b, the colours of the bars were incorrect, where “Bovine milk” appeared as dark blue, “Bovine meat” in o...

Food production and consumption need to substantially change to meet global environmental and public health goals. Increasing grain legume consumption in most countries is key to providing nourishing food for all while contributing to cropping system sustainability with relatively low environmental impact. But what actions have the potential to increase such consumption? The wide knowledge of how to cultivate grain legumes amo...

This dataset contains all data generated or analysed during this dietary modelling study. This comprises: detailed description of the dietary scenarios that have been analysed in this study using two different functional units (mass-based and energy-based); all product data input into the calculation including environmental impact, nutritional values, price data and source name of the food product data; an overview of the Reco...

As a result of years of increased rationalization and consolidation of food systems, the knowledge and skills of many actors in food value chains, especially those linked to smaller-scale traditional and artisanal production, processing, and cooking, have rapidly been eroded. Despite the resilience that such knowledge and skills can offer. In this paper, we use the lens of gastronomy to highlight how culinary craftsmanship and...

The production and consumption of animal-source foods must be transformed to mitigate negative environmental outcomes, including greenhouse gas emissions and land-use change. However, livestock are also key for food production and for livelihoods in some settings, and they can help preserve biodiversity and certain ecosystems. Previous studies have not yet fully explored sustainability limits to the use of grazing lands for fo...

Plant-based alternatives (PBAs) are increasingly becoming part of diets. Here, we investigate the environmental, nutritional, and economic implications of replacing animal-source foods (ASFs) with PBAs or whole foods (WFs) in the Swedish diet. Utilising two functional units (mass and energy), we model vegan, vegetarian, and flexitarian scenarios, each based on PBAs or WFs. Our results demonstrate that PBA-rich diets substantia...

In the EU, including Sweden, organic farming is seen as a promising pathway for sustainable production, protecting human health and animal welfare, and conserving the environment. Despite positive developments in recent decades, expanding organic farming to the Swedish national target of 30% of farmland under organic production remains challenging. In this study, we developed two scenarios to evaluate the role of organic farmi...
