Less beef? No tradeoffs there. Better health. More land for nature. More water. Clean water. Less climate change.

Food must be taken seriously as an environmental problem.

It uses ~38% of Earth’s land, drives ~70% of water use, and emits ~22-34% of greenhouse gas pollution globally.

And beef and dairy alone drive a huge proportion of this.

But there are solutions. Lots of them.

Food causes 22-34% of climate change.
But it only gets 4% of the media coverage.

Why? Neglect. Misunderstanding. And a hell of a lot of greenwashing.

No, this emits even more. More methane and more carbon dioxide from increased land requirements and time to slaughter. Soil carbon benefits don’t offset this.
