🚨 Is meat the new oil?

In a new piece for Verfassungsblog, SEI’s Cleo Verkuijl explores what fossil fuel governance can teach us about transforming industrial meat systems – and how lessons from food can help energy transitions, too.

As the world grapples with phasing down fossil fuels, another major source of emissions – industrial animal agriculture – demands similar attention.

CLEO VERKUIJL (@cleoverk.bsky.social) outlines five lessons from fossil fuel governance for industrial meat governance.
Quote from our published article by author Cleo Verkuijl: “Our energy and food systems aren't inevitable - they're shaped by policy, choices and power. By learning across sectors, we gain a powerful insight into how we can shift the needle.”
