Abstract: The rapidly increasing global population presents important challenges in ensuring adequate and nutritious food, especially when accounting for the associated social and environmental impacts. This paper investigates the social risks associated with different protein sources, focusing on animal-based and plant-based options. Specifically, it assesses the risk of four main protein products in the Spanish market: meat, dairy, fish, and agricultural products.
