The Power of a Planet-Friendly Vegan Diet: Longer Lives, Healthier Planet

A study conducted by Oxford scientists analyzed the dietary data of 55,000 individuals and found that vegans have only 30% of the environmental impact of high-meat eaters. The study considered five key measures: greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, water pollution, and biodiversity loss. Even the least sustainable vegan diet was found to be more environmentally friendly than the most sustainable meat eater's diet. The research highlights the significant impact of meat consumption on the planet and emphasizes the need for a transition towards more plant-based diets to reduce the food system's global environmental and health impact.
