Agriculture is the second largest contributor of green-house gas emissions after energy, averaging approximately 11% of emissions globally and more in developed countries. Our consumption of animal protein and fat contributes significantly to GHG emissions, while causing the destruction of natural areas for grazing animals and for growing feed crops, with the resulting loss of habitats and biodiversity.
Plus – Reducing the amount of animal products in our diet, especially red meat, benefits our health. And plant-based food tastes delicious too.
