‘Bewildering’ to omit meat-eating reduction from UN climate plan

Academic experts also criticise UN Food and Agriculture Organization for dismissing alternative proteins

The omission of meat-eating reduction from proposals in a UN roadmap to tackle the climate crisis and end hunger is “bewildering”, according to academic experts.

The group also criticised the UN Food and Agriculture Organization’s report for “dismissing” the potential of alternative proteins, such as plant-based meat, to reduce the impact of livestock on the environment.
