The measurement of recipes' biodiversity footprints, such as chickpea curry's positive impact compared to the significant greenhouse gas emissions from dairy, meat and shrimp farming, promotes sustainability.

Industry watchers say local start-ups are more nimble and adept at customising their plant-based products to cater to the market’s unique palate. They stand a chance of avoiding problems that have plagued the business in the West.

Substituting half of animal products, such as pork, chicken, beef and milk, consumed globally with more sustainable alternatives could “almost fully halt” the conversion of forests and natural land for agriculture, according to new research.
