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

加快从以动物为基础的膳食蛋白向替代膳食蛋白的转变——即饮食转变——是减少粮食系统在温室气体排放（GHG）、能源、水和土地利用方面的足迹以及其他相关环境影响的关键，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，以加快这一饮食转变，符合“从农场到餐桌”战略，并有助于实现到2050年实现气候中和的绿色协议目标。在实践中实现饮食转变本质上是复杂的，因为所涉及的行为者多种多样，并进一步受到重大知识差距的阻碍，这些知识差距分散在各种替代蛋白质来源和健康（安全性、过敏原性和消化率）、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）领域。GIANT LEAPS联盟由关键参与者组成，涵盖所有专业知识，以解决相关知识差距，并积极参与，以实现基于替代蛋白质的优化未来饮食，并被利益相关者群体广泛接受。为了提供短期、中期和长期决策和影响所需的见解，GIANT LEAPS蛋白质来源已根据其当前规格水平选择进行针对性或全面评估。创新和改进的方法与可获取的全面信息相结合，为广泛收集替代蛋白质而产生，将使政策制定者能够根据期望的影响优先考虑粮食系统的变化，以实现饮食转变，价值链行为体能够做出战略性的科学、商业和投资选择，公众能够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.
