Abstract
Overconsumption of animal proteins has posed threats to the environment, human health, and wildlife. To reduce livestock activities, the consumption of plant-based meat is encouraged. Because of advanced technologies, plant-based meat is more feasible and accessible. The benefits of plant-based meat include less carbon footprint, more conserved wildlife habitats, lowered risks of chronic and infectious diseases. On the other hand, drawbacks are still present. Lack of mineral contents and low preference for plant-based meat would impact the production and innovation of plant- based meat alternatives. In addition to plant-based meat, culture meat and algae-based proteins are likely to be other options to mitigate environmental issues in the future.
