“…Health is a very common motive for individual reductions in meat consumption. [16][17][18][19] In addition to health motives, animal welfare has also been shown to be important for individuals to limit or cease meat consumption, as can be seen in studies among vegetarians. 20 21 Other motives could be related to the high cost of meat, food scandals and social pressure from peers or family.…”

IntroductionHigh consumption of red and processed meat increases the risk of several chronic diseases. Many people, especially in high-income countries, eat more meat than recommended by nutritional and health agencies. Meat production also has negative impacts on the environment and contributes to climate change. Therefore, climate protection, besides health or animal welfare, could motivate individuals to eat less meat. Willingness to reduce meat consumption and motives to do so are not yet fully understood.Methods and analysisBased on the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) extended guidelines, a scoping review of peer-reviewed original studies will be conducted to address three questions: What is the evidence regarding (1) the willingness of individuals to reduce meat consumption to mitigate climate change, (2) the awareness of individuals about the link between their meat consumption and the potential to mitigate climate change and (3) individuals having reduced meat consumption for the reason of climate protection? We will search the databases Medline (via PubMed), Scopus, Embase, Greenfile (via Ebsco) and PsynDex/CurrentContent/Agris (via Livivo) using a systematic search string. Studies from 2015 onwards, published in English, German, Danish or Dutch, will be included. We will include observational studies, qualitative studies, intervention studies (if they include surveys) and reviews. Data will be summarised in a narrative synthesis, comprising methods, population characteristics, meat type under study, indicators measured and limitations. Key findings will be grouped according to the research questions. This scoping review will help clarify the role of climate protection in individual reduction of meat consumption and identify research gaps in this field.Ethics and disseminationFormal ethical approval is not required, as primary data will not be collected in this study. Findings of this scoping review will be presented at scientific conferences and published in a peer-reviewed journal.Trial registration numberhttps://doi.org/10.17605/OSF.IO/MWB85.

“…Respondents with a limited desire to replace animal-based meals placed a high value on future pulse-based products being natural, whereas those who already use pulses in place of animal-based foods expected convenient, minimally processed foods. Respondents who have already substituted meat with pulses or who have showed a low readiness to do so in the future stated that they prefer plain pulses over processed and meat-like pulse-based items as a replacement to meat (Henn et al, 2022). (de Oliveira Padilha et al, 2022b) examined consumer attitudes toward various protein products as well as the elements that influence consumer acceptance of lab-grown chicken and beef.…”

The demographic for the answer is made up of Indian customers, namely those from the state of Chhattisgarh, which has a diversified population. Though the study discloses Indian consumers' views, it restricts the likelihood of the western world adopting them. Several poultry products have yet to be discovered due to a paucity of resources. The research data is examined using ANOVA, although there is space for further analysis using several alternative statistical tools.

“…Pulses support the three Ps of sustainability—people, planet, and profit (Didinger & Thompson, 2020; Wognum et al., 2011) with large benefits toward personal (Carbas et al., 2021; Curran, 2012; McCrory et al., 2010; Mudryj et al., 2014; Rebello et al., 2014) and environmental health (Ferreira et al., 2021; Harwatt et al., 2017; Sabaté et al., 2015; Willett et al., 2019). Yet, pulses are underutilized as a human food source especially in Europe (Asif et al., 2013; Didinger & Thompson, 2020; Henn, Zhang, et al., 2022) due to barriers of sensory and preparation properties as well as digestive problems such as bloating and flatulence (Doma et al., 2019; Henn, Goddyn, et al., 2022). Besides, consumers seem to underestimate the benefits of plant‐based foods to promote sustainable development (Hartmann et al., 2022; Henn, Zhang, et al, 2022; Tobler et al., 2011a; Vanhonacker et al., 2013) .…”

While segments of the society are willing to replace animal-based foods with plant-based alternatives, such as pulses, it has become apparent that these alternatives must be innovative, convenient, and organic for consumers from different European countries (Henn, Bøye Olsen, et al, 2022).…”

Despite the known health benefits and the potential for substituting less environmentally sustainable consumed foods such as meat, the current intake of pulses in developed countries remains less than recommended. Barriers are related to sensory characteristics and lack of knowledge about preparation, while drivers of environmental benefits are intangible. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of additional information about health or environmental benefits of pulses on the acceptance of novel pulse‐based products from chickpeas, black beans, and faba beans. Perceptions of these pulse‐based spreads in a blind and informed stage were assessed with 202 consumers in urban and suburban areas of Denmark. In general, the familiar chickpea spread followed by the relatively most unfamiliar black bean spread was liked the most. Only for these two products, additional information increased hedonic perception, regardless of the context (health or environmental benefits). If consumers did not like the spread, as found for the faba bean spread, providing additional information did not significantly alter this perception. Participants’ preferences and willingness to pay (WTP) in a discrete choice experiment corresponded to hedonic scores, whereas providing additional information increased the WTP. These findings suggest that extrinsic cues such as health or environmental benefits may only be useful in products with an acceptable baseline taste profile. Moreover, black beans might be investigated as a promising source for further product development due to their acceptance by consumers besides being the comparably most unfamiliar pulse type.
