New Research from Global Dairy Platform Highlights Dairy's Superior Sustainability Over Plant-Based Alternatives

Published in April, the paper delves into the multifaceted aspects of sustainability, including nutrition, socioeconomics, and environmental impact, ultimately asserting that semi-skimmed milk emerges as the more sustainable choice compared to plant-based alternatives.

One key takeaway from the article is the acknowledgment of the challenges in recommending foods based solely on singular metrics. Instead, it advocates for a holistic approach that considers various factors comprehensively. The paper emphasizes that sustainability assessments should not be solely dictated by environmental criteria, underscoring the need for a nuanced understanding of the broader impacts.

Furthermore, the scientific community is actively engaged in developing comprehensive metrics that can effectively evaluate the sustainability of food products across different domains, according to the Global Dairy Platform.
