In response to the growing environmental and health concerns associated with animal farming, this helps with a shift towards plant-based diets. Livestock production is significantly more resource-intensive compared to plant-based food production, contributing to higher rates of greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water consumption, and waste.
The United Nations has highlighted the benefits of moving towards plant-based diets, including substantial reductions in land usage and emissions.
