By choosing to eat plant-based we can cut out the "middle animal" and avoid wasting the input resources that animal based foods require whilst still meeting our nutritional needs.
Eating plant based offers the following advantages:
Reduction in green house gas emissions by 70%
Reduced soil degradation safeguarding this precious resource
Less land required for food production, freeing land for rewilding back to nature protecting habitats and preventing species decline
Reduced water use
Less reliance on fossil fuels
Improving self sufficiency
Estimated saving of £50billion in healthcare and societal costs in the UK (between $1 and $30trillion world-wide)
