A survey by ProVeg International, in partnership with other institutions, indicates that Spaniards are among the Europeans most interested in plant-based diets. The study finds that 40% of Spaniards plan to consume less meat in the near future, with 46% having already reduced their meat consumption in the past year. The research also reveals that 28% of respondents in Spain plan to reduce their dairy consumption. Despite the health concerns about meat consumption, reported by over 65% of Spaniards, there is a lack of trust in the safety and accuracy of labels for plant-based products, with 52% of Spanish consumers calling for more information. The survey is part of the Smart Protein project and involves 7,500 participants from 10 European countries, with findings highlighting a shift towards plant-based diets that could help reduce carbon emissions from European diets, which are currently 82% from animal products.
