"Vegan farming can help to overcome world hunger by helping Global Food Security; help protect our fertile lands and fresh water reserves, and cut greenhouse gas emissions."Meanwhile Elizabeth Thomas picks up on a recent interview with Lord Stern, who explained that
"Meat is a wasteful use of water and creates a lot of greenhouse gases. It puts enormous pressure on the world’s resources. A vegetarian diet is better."But while cutting down is realistic she couldn't imagine giving up meat completely.
Elsewhere Robin Smith says that Lord Stern's recommendations are simply not necessary to avert climate change, because current consumer behaviour is so wasteful.
