Plant-based diets: health benefits

“Transitioning toward more plant-based diets that are in line with standard dietary guidelines could reduce global mortality by 6–10%, compared with a reference scenario in 2050.”

“Overall, we estimate the economic benefits* of improving diets to be 1–31 trillion US dollars, which is equivalent to 0.4–13% of global gross domestic product (GDP) in 2050.”

The highest economic benefits are probable for completely plant-based, vegan diets.

* Both in terms of human health and regarding the environment.
