“Creating a Sustainable Food Future (installment 11) shows that for people who consume high amounts of meat and dairy, shifting to diets with a greater share of plant-based foods could significantly reduce agriculture’s pressure on the environment.” Read more at the WRI and download the PDF from the link below. Thanks to author Timothy Searchinger, research scholar, Woodrow Wilson School and the Program in Science, Technology, and Environmental Policy and lecturer for Princeton Environmental Institute and World Resources Institute fellow. Don’t miss the Protein Scorecard, which ranks foods from lowest (plant-based foods) to highest impact (beef), as well as the Shift Wheel, which harnesses proven marketing and behavior change strategies to help move billions of people to more sustainable diets. http://www.wri.org/publication/shifting-diets
