India's Protein Demand Growth Raises Emissions and Food Inflation Concerns
India's per-capita protein consumption is projected to more than triple by 2070, raising concerns about food security, agricultural emissions, and resource use, according to a joint ARE-FICCI report. The report warns that protein-related emissions could far exceed climate-safe thresholds without intervention. Concurrently, India faces rising protein food prices, with items like paneer costing significantly more than staples such as dal. Economic shifts show increased demand for protein-rich foods as incomes rise, influencing dietary patterns and inflation dynamics.
