Avoiding meat and dairy is single biggest
way to reduce your impact on Earth
Avoiding meat and dairy products is the single biggest way
to reduce your environmental impact on the planet, according
to the scientists behind the most comprehensive analysis to
date of the damage farming does to the planet.
The new research, published in the journal Science, shows
that without meat and dairy consumption, global farmland use
could be reduced by more than 75% – an area equivalent to
the US, China, European Union and Australia combined – and
still feed the world. Loss of wild areas to cattle farming is the
leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife.
The new analysis shows that while meat and dairy
products provide just 18% of calories and 37% of protein, they
use the vast majority – 83% – of farmland and produce 60%
of farming greenhouse gas emissions. Other recent research
shows 86% of all land mammals are now livestock or humans.
The scientists also found that even the lowest impact by meat
and dairy products may cause much more environmental
harm than the least sustainable vegetable and cereal growing.
