La transizione \u00e8 il cambiamento desiderato. Le transizioni energetiche, democratiche e demografiche sono spazi in cui si inventa un nuovo rapporto con il futuro, si disegnano preferenze. Il \u201cprogresso sottile\u201d, ben pi\u00f9 profondo dell\u2019ordinario progresso utile, si afferma. Il pianeta, piuttosto che una somma di risorse da sfruttare, diventa il luogo in cui gli uomini si confrontano con il mistero dell\u2019esistenza e si imbattono in questioni fondamentali: quale presa pu\u00f2 avere sull\u2019evoluzione umana? Cosa occorre cambiare affinch\u00e9 nulla cambi a nostro discapito? Pascal Chabot tratteggia in questo libro un\u2019inedita mappatura delle transizioni in corso con cui le societ\u00e0 partecipano a un nuovo immaginario del cambiamento, e interroga cos\u00ec il divenire della mondializzazione tecnocapitalista.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In recent years, international historiography has devoted increasing attention to the concept of transition as a way to describe specific historical times that are characterized by deep and transversal change in every field of political and social life. The category of transition seems to offer an effective tool to investigate and interpret historical time in moments of change, while avoiding the shortcomings of teleological or evolutionist paradigms. We have debated the heuristic value of this category, as well as its limits, with four scholars with different backgrounds: from the history of ideas to law history, from the history of historiography to the historical-philosophical implications of the theories of modernity.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Protein Transitions<\/mark><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Protein transition and circular food system transition are two proposed strategies for supporting food system sustainability. Here we model animal-sourced protein to plant-sourced protein ratios within a European circular food system, finding that maintaining the current animal\u2013plant protein share while redesigning the system with circular principles resulted in the largest relative reduction of 44% in land use and 70% in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions compared with the current food system. Shifting from a 60:40 to a 40:60 ratio of animal-sourced proteins to plant-sourced proteins yielded a 60% reduction in land use and an 81% GHG emission reduction, while supporting nutritionally adequate diets. Differences between current and recommended total protein intake did not substantially impact minimal land use and GHG emissions. Micronutrient inadequacies occurred with less than 18 g animal protein per capita per day. Redesigning the food system varied depending on whether land use or GHG emissions were reduced\u2014 highlighting the need for a food system approach when designing policies to enhance human and planetary health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
