Animal agriculture requires a lot of resources, including land, water, and grain for feed. By greatly reducing the amount of meat in our diets, we can free up resources and redirect them towards feeding the growing population. Plant-based diets require less land, water, and resources, making them a more sustainable option. This also addresses the issue of greenhouse gas emissions from animal agriculture, which contributes significantly to climate change.
