    It’s not because of meat it’s because of unsustainable farming practices being used on a massive scale. Implement some fucking laws about it and maybe we wouldn’t have this problem

      Unfortunately, more sustainable (e.g. organic) farming practices generally do not reduce greenhouse-gas emissions [1]. The main issue is that these methods reduce crop yields and thus have a higher land use.
