How does the transition away from animal proteins transform geographies of meat and dairy production and consumption? Where, for whom, and why does our reliance on animal protein become politically salient? How is the governance of the protein transition affected by the embrace of plant-based alternatives by some consumers and their rejection by others? The Proteinscapes project investigates the environmental aspects of meat and dairy and how they are politically contested and might emerge as a new fault-line of spatial and political polarisation that frustrates the governance of the protein transition.
