This study, authored by Jin Zhao and colleagues, delves into the impact of dietary changes and climate change on food security. By analyzing data from 1990 to 2018, the research identifies how shifts in dietary preferences towards healthier, plant-based diets can mitigate the adverse effects of climate change on food supply. The study emphasizes that both supply and demand factors need to be considered to fully understand food security challenges and suggests that transitioning to sustainable diets could significantly alleviate these issues.
