The European Union has caved in to angry protests from farmers, cutting its target to scrap specific agricultural emissions which formed part of the bloc’s net zero drive.
A demand to reduce nitrogen, methane and other emissions linked to farming by almost a third has been removed from a wider Brussels plan to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 90 per cent by 2040.
Producing more plant-based food is actually a lot more efficient, as animals poop out a significant amount of the calories you feed them. Hence, you’d actually need a lot fewer imports.
Producing animal products in the current amounts is a lose-lose-lose-lose-lose scenario: people work a lot harder to produce unhealthy products from tortured creatures which are bad for the environment, creating additional cost everywhere.
