This paper examines the effect on employment and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions if legume production and consumption in Norway increase and replace animal-based proteins. Three scenarios—maximising employment and cultural landscapes, minimising GHG emissions and evenly reducing each type of livestock—were analysed. Results show that increasing legume production and consumption can significantly reduce GHG emissions but also reduce employment in the livestock sector. This demonstrates a trade-off between reducing GHG emissions versus maintaining cultural landscapes and employment opportunities in rural areas where other income opportunities may be scarce.

摘要

This paper examines the effect on employment and Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions if legume production and consumption in Norway increase and replace animal-based proteins. Three scenarios—maximising employment and cultural landscapes, minimising GHG emissions and evenly reducing each type of livestock—were analysed. Results show that increasing legume production and consumption can significantly reduce GHG emissions but also reduce employment in the livestock sector. This demonstrates a trade-off between reducing GHG emissions versus maintaining cultural landscapes and employment opportunities in rural areas where other income opportunities may be scarce.
