TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify four non-technical dimensions of disruption, i.e., markets and business models, regulations and policy, and actors and networks, and provide a new definition of disruption in sociotechnical transitions with focus on both speed and magnitude of change.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review 123 social scientific journal articles on cell-based and plant-based meat and milk alternatives to understand how the positioning of alternatives as both same and different in relation to animal-based products influences their role within the protein transition.

TL;DR: How European food law impacts the transformative potential of alternative proteins, including single-cell proteins, plant-based novel proteins, cultured meat, macroalgae, and insects is asked.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss the results of an iterative research prioritisation process carried out to enhance capacity, mutual understanding and impact amongst European social sciences and humanities researchers, which produced 15 research questions from an initial list of 100 and classified under the following five themes: (1) debating and visioning food from animals; (2) transforming agricultural spaces; (3) framing animals as food; (4) eating practices and identities; (5) governing transitions beyond animal-based food systems).

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors bring together insights from institutional, socio-psychological, practice theoretical and relational perspectives to highlight the diversity of understanding agency in sustainability transitions, and argue that in order to acquire a more holistic understanding on the role of agency, attention should be paid to the links and interactions between different socio-technical systems, such as energy, transportation, waste and food as well as their internal dynamics, blurring the boundaries of micro-, meso-and macro-levels.
