They found high costs of meat and potential health benefits to be the most prevalent motivations for reducingmeat intake, while environmental concern was one of the weakest incentives. They believe a lack of connection between meat eating and its associated environmental impacts could potentially explai...
Overall, results indicate an increase in the number of people who are aware that meat-eating has environmental impacts, although they believe its impact to be significantly less than other pro-environmental behaviours (e.g., using public transport, recycling things more, and using m...
Results from the study suggest that reductions in protein consumption, through large reductions in meat consumption, offer the largest potential reductions of environmental impacts and resource consumption. Thereafter, reducing waste by 60 and 80% in 2030 and 2050, respectively, offer large potential en...
"As a society, we are overconsuming protein," Brewster said. "If we ate less red meat, it would also help stop the obesity epidemic." Experts said that it would probably take decades to wane the public off of its meat-eating tendency. "We need to better understand the implications of ...
The objective was to investigate the impacts of (a) ecolabels, (b) increased availability of meat-free options (herein: meat-free availability), and (c) the combined impact of implementing both interventions simultaneously, on the environmental impact of hot meal items purchased in worksite ...
Individuals abstaining from red meat consistently had lower impacts in combination with lower consumption of harmful nutrients (saturated fats, sodium, and sugars) while maintaining average intake of beneficial nutrients. A ‘best practice’ diet with low impacts, adequate nutrient intake, and low ...
Activists, young people, and scientists alike are increasingly interested in food and agriculture and studying its environmental and social impacts. However, much of this increased interest has been focused on either on-farm practices or a very simplified view of the entire food production-consumption...
Vegetarian and fish-eating diets (without meat consumption, but potentially including some animal-based products) were both more harmful to the environment than vegan diets, but overall less harmful than eating meat. The research followed reports last year from the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Pub...
Change at low income levels should be focused upon meat, bakery and dairy consumption, while higher incomes should be focused upon the consequences of eating food outside the home. 展开 关键词: Environmental impacts Food security Life cycle assessment Input-output ...
(2021), the CF of UK non-vegetarian diets was almost 60 % higher than that of vegetarian ones. Also, meat consumption in the non-vegetarian diet contributed to about 40 % of the total impact of that diet. In contrast, impacts related to water usage do not correlate highly with those ...
