In addition to recognised health benefits, plant proteins also have an environmental advantage. Each 1kg of soybeans produced provides 56 per cent more protein – and 48 times fewer carbon emissions – than its equivalent in beef, for example.

According to the FAO food balance sheets, animal products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy dominated US protein supply in 2021 by 69 per cent. In contrast, China’s supply of animal protein was around half that of the United States.

China’s protein supply contained more vegetal sources, with vegetables, fruits, beans, nuts, seeds, and wheat, oat, rice, barley, maize and their products making up 60.5 per cent.
