Vi vidste det godt her på redaktionen. Men nu er det bevist, at kødspiserne, osteelskerne og mælkedrikkerne har er forklaringsproblem på grund af den klimabelastning produktionen af deres livretter forårsager. Animalsk produktion lægger beslag på 86% af agerlandet men leverer kun 18% af kalorierne og 37% af proteinerne. Dyrene udsender 60% af landbrugets klimagasser. The Guardian skriver bl.a:
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 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 agriculture is the leading cause of the current mass extinction of wildlife.
The new analysis shows that while meat and dairy provide just 18% of calories and 37% of protein, it uses the vast majority – 83% – of farmland and produces 60% of agriculture’s greenhouse gas emissions.
