Figure taken from Springmann M. A multicriteria analysis of meat and milk alternatives from nutritional, health, environmental, and cost perspectives, PNAS, 2024;121(50):e2319010121. The left panel shows the environmental impact per serving, with greenhouse gas emissions in red, land use in green and water use in blue. The right panel shows cost per serving (US dollars), with colours matched to the type of food. The foods are listed on the x-axis from top to bottom as follows: beef, pork, poultry, beef burger, pork sausages, pork bacon, veggie burger, veggie sausages, veggie bacon, tofu, tempeh, soybenas, beans, peas, milk, low-fat milk, soy milk, oat milk, almond milk, rice milk, soybeans, oats, almonds, rice.
