Abstract: The idea of sufficiency is an enlightening one for rethinking human consumption, beyond the single paradigm of efficiency. The MidWay research project examines the concept of sufficiency in relation to the evolution of meat and milk consumption in China, and highlights the historical, cultural, political and social determinants of consumption. In so doing, it raises several broader questions concerning food safety, the role of government bodies and sustainable consumption. Ultimately, sufficiency can be analyzed taking into account the specific characteristics of each country and can constitute a relevant paradigm for initiating a sustainable transition in our food and eating practices.
