This report identifies the economic, environmental, and industrial benefits of a partial shift from animal-based to plant-based protein production in Thailand, modelling its impact on climate, land use, and the economy under different scenarios.
By shifting 50% of protein production to plant-based sources by 2050, Thailand could cut annual COâ‚‚ emissions by 35.5 million metric tonnes, free up 2.17 million hectares of land, and generate THB 1.3 trillion in economic value while creating up to 1.15 million new jobs. The report outlines actionable strategies to drive this transformation, reduce environmental impact, and stimulate investment in sustainable food technologies.
