Plant protein foods (lentils, beans, nuts, etc.) provide vital nutrients using a small fraction of the land required to produce meat and dairy. By shifting to these foods, much of the remaining land could support ecosystems that absorb CO2. Production of animal-sourced food requires 83% of Earth’s agricultural land, suppressing native vegetation, including forests.
Another great thing about plant protein foods is that you can store them without refrigeration meaning less energy use and fewer trips to the grocery store. Save money and the planet.
