Faba bean transition tales

The sources and amounts of protein in human diets have varied throughout history and across the world. Getting enough has been, and still is, a dominant struggle in many times and places. But recent decades are also novel: a transition towards protein superabundance has been spreading, starting in western countries. It is, more specifically, an abundance of animal protein, which in many countries now far surpasses the consumption of plant proteins. In response, present day transition is about the urgent need for a reversal of this trend. We mainly follow that trend, focusing primarily on faba beans, with half an eye also on cultivated meat.
