Plant based 'no meat'
Planet friendly eating or going against our nature?
Environmental sustainability and animal welfare campaigns catch on globally. People turn to plant-based diets as humans reconsider their relations with animals and animal agriculture. Land that produces animal feed now grows food for humans or is converted into wildlands.
Summary
Humans greatly modify their appetites and diets to a plant- and fungi-based diet designed to deliver optimal human nutrition at the least environmental cost. People directly consume the feed crops that were once destined for an animal’s stomach. Land that was producing livestock or livestock feed is rewilded or forested.
