It’s hard to discuss fully here, plus I’m not the best person to do so. Do send me a DM & I will put you in touch with the modelling group who can do a much better job of explaining the nuances & details.

Because many of the places where population is expected to grow is a) where income is expected to grow & b) where consumption is currently lowest, we project a greater growth in demand for fish production that would be expected from global averages based on population alone.

Of course, people could meet the recommendations with much lower levels of fish consumption, as the bottom range is 0, but this is less likely. + The aim was to establish how feasible a realistic shift is, how much change is required & explore if that’s possible within safe & just boundaries.

All the EAT-Lancet recommendations have a range-e.g. dairy is 0-500g/d, fish 0-100g/d, beef 0-30g/d. The scenarios make assumptions about where different populations are likely to fall in that range, based on preferences, wealth, etc.

& the opposite is true (eg Europe). Plus the diet is flexible (ie fish recommendations from 0-100g/day) & the areas where population is expected to grow are where increases in income are expected. The expectation is that with increases in income demand for higher value goods increases.

Sorry just seen this (+ caveat I was most involved in the justice part). A number of factors go into the models including population, income, & preferences. The main factor driving increases is the areas with most catch up are where population growth is also to be greatest (eg parts of S Asia & SSA)

I don’t think so, Science now asks that “authors of Letters also make readers aware of financial and advisory competing interests.” After a contentious trophy hunting letter in 2019 raised complaints of conflict of interest
