Eggs: protein that’s good for the planet and your body

This project focused on two key questions: identify the positive benefits of egg consumption, and identify influencing factors and barriers likely to encourage or prevent consumers from perceiving  eggs as an appropriate nutritional and environmentally-friendly meat alternative. Presenting scientific data on how eggs compare nutritionally and environmentally to meat will provide a strong evidence base for recommendations to target consumer groups likely to benefit from adopting increased eggs as part of a healthy diet for all, with particular emphasis for adolescents, pregnant women, and older Australians.
