Reducing meat and dairy for a healthier life and planet \u2014 the Greenpeace vision of the meat and dairy system towards 2050<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The food we eat and how we produce it are key to determining\u00a0what kind of future we and our children will have. In this report, we answer the question of \u201cwhat to eat?\u201d by reviewing the scientific evidence exposing what our health and the health of the planet demand from us:\u00a0a global reduction of 50% in production and consumption of animal products by 2050 and a change in the way we produce them<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Our food system \u2014 including changes in land use linked to agriculture \u2014 is currently responsible for a quarter of all greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. Meat and dairy production alone already releases as much greenhouse gas emissions as the transport sector.\u00a0If we do nothing, by 2050 gas emissions from the food system will represent over half of the total global emissions associated with human activities.<\/p>\n

The effect of meat and dairy production on biodiversity is also staggering. Since 1970, the Earth has lost half of its wildlife but tripled its livestock population.\u00a0Intensive meat and dairy production is a major driver of deforestation, dead zones in the oceans, and degradation of freshwater bodies globally.<\/p>\n

Perhaps most insidious is this: increasing meat and dairy production and consumption is behind a latent global health crisis. High red meat consumption has been linked to cancer, heart disease, obesity, and diabetes.\u00a0Industrial animal agriculture is also associated with antimicrobial resistance \u2014 which the World Health Organization<\/a> declared a \u201cglobal health emergency\u201d \u2014 and is a significant source of foodborne pathogens. Millions of lives could be saved each year if people had better access to a diet rich in plant-based foods.<\/p>\n

This strong scientific evidence must translate into global action. Greenpeace\u00a0will work alongside farmers to heal our planet and its people by standing up to industrial meat and dairy to create a global food system that is fair and sustainable for farmers and the environment.\u00a0We call on governments to end policies that support industrial meat and dairy production\u00a0and instead help farmers shift towards ecological farming. We also urge governments to make healthy, plant-based foods more available\u00a0and call on people around the world to join the movement for less meat and dairy and a healthier planet.<\/p>\n
