"Python Farming: A Sustainable Solution for Global Food Security"

TL;DR Summary
A new study suggests that python farming could provide a more sustainable source of meat due to the reptile's ability to reproduce rapidly and survive on minimal food. Researchers observed python farms in Southeast Asia and found that pythons can grow rapidly and endure disruptions in food supply chains and extreme weather events. While some experts advocate for python meat as a sustainable protein source, animal welfare organizations caution against prioritizing animal-based proteins and encourage a plant-based diet instead.
