Introduction Plant-based meats (PBM) are an emerging set of food technologies that could reduce the environmental impacts systems by mitigating consumer demand for animal products. However, scaling up production and consumption plant-based requires overcoming multiple technological, regulatory, political, market barriers. An evidence-based prioritization needs actions may help actors (e.g., investors, funders, policymakers) who wish to scale PBM achieve desired outcomes with limited...
High-profile modeling studies often project that large-scale win-win solutions are widely available, but practitioners skeptical of narratives, due to real-world complexity. Here, we bridge this divide by showing mathematically why complexity makes win-wins elusive. We provide a general proof that, under uncertainty, the probability manager should assign outcomes (here meaning Pareto improvements) existing strictly decreases in: number objectives, stakeholders, and constraints. also show...
In this article, the author reflects on role of power and privilege during her interactions with international partners. She dissects how factors like social justice, intersectionality, intercultural competence, which go beyond technical expertise, can dramatically influence success projects. The goal paper is to provide insight for those interested in working development, while discussing challenges that are frequently unaddressed field.
