How Meat Production Affects Global Climate Change
Meat production, particularly from livestock like cattle, pigs, and sheep, contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions
Expanding livestock farming often leads to deforestation, especially in areas like the Amazon rainforest
Meat production is water-intensive, particularly in beef production. It takes thousands of liters of water to produce just one kilogram of beef
Growing crops to feed livestock, such as corn and soybeans, requires vast amounts of land, water, and chemical fertilizers.
The energy used in the meat production process, from farming to slaughtering and processing, contributes to climate change
Industrial meat production is energy-intensive, and many facilities rely on non-renewable energy sources, which contribute to climate change.
The expansion of meat production often leads to the destruction of habitats for wildlife. As forests and grasslands are cleared for grazing
