Gap resolution in safety, nutritional, allergenicity and environmental assessments to promote alternative protein utilization and the dietary shift.

加快从动物性蛋白质向替代膳食蛋白质的转变--饮食转变--是减少我们的食物系统在温室气体排放（GHG）、能源、水和土地使用以及其他相关环境影响方面的足迹的关键，也是改善人类、动物和地球健康和福祉的关键。GIANT LEAPS提供战略创新，方法和开放获取数据集，以加快这种饮食转变，符合农场到餐桌战略，并为到2050年实现气候中立的绿色交易目标做出贡献。在实践中实现饮食转变本质上是复杂的，因为涉及到各种各样的参与者，并进一步受到主要知识差距的阻碍，这些知识差距分散在各种替代蛋白质来源和健康领域（安全性，过敏性和消化率），环境（温室气体和其他环境和气候影响，生物多样性，循环性）和/或采用障碍（技术，感官和消费者接受度）。GIANT LEAPS联盟由主要参与者组成，涵盖所有专业知识，以解决相关知识差距，并积极参与，以实现基于利益相关者群体广泛接受的替代蛋白质的优化未来饮食。为了提供短期、中期和长期决策和影响所需的见解，我们选择了GIANT LEAPS蛋白源，根据其当前的规格水平进行针对性或全面评估。创新和改进的方法，结合广泛收集替代蛋白质所产生的可获得和全面的信息，将使政策制定者能够根据预期影响优先考虑粮食系统的变化，以实现饮食转变，价值链参与者做出战略性的科学，商业和投资选择，公众做出更可持续和健康的饮食选择。

Accelerating the transition from animal-based to alternative dietary proteins – the dietary shift – is key to reducing the footprint of our food system in terms of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), energy, water and land use, and other relevant environmental impacts, and for improving the health and well-being of people, animals and the planet. GIANT LEAPS delivers the strategic innovations, methodologies, and open-access datasets to speed up this dietary shift, in line with the Farm-to-Fork strategy and contributing to the Green Deal target of reaching climate neutrality by 2050. Achieving the dietary shift in practice is inherently complex due to the diverse set of actors involved and further hindered by major knowledge gaps, scattered across the various alternative protein sources and the domains of health (safety, allergenicity and digestibility), environment (GHGs and other environmental and climate impacts, biodiversity, circularity), and/ or barriers to adoption (technological, sensory, and consumer acceptance). The GIANT LEAPS consortium consists of the key actors and spans all expertise to address relevant knowledge gaps and proactively engages to arrive at optimized future diets based on alternative proteins that are broadly accepted across stakeholder groups. In order to deliver required insights for short-, mid- and long-term decision making and impact, GIANT LEAPS protein sources have been selected for either targeted or full assessment based on their current level of specification. The innovations and improved methods combined with accessible and comprehensive information, generated for a wide collection of alternative proteins, will enable policymakers to prioritise changes in the food system towards the dietary shift based on desired impact, value chain actors to make strategic scientific, business and investment choices, and the general public to make more sustainable and healthy dietary choices.
