In order to feed a growing global population, the United Nations has projected we will need to produce at least 50% more food by 2050 without using any more land. At the same time, we will need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture by two-thirds in order to meet the minimum climate targets to […]
The world’s leading body of climate scientists, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), has published the fourth and final installment of a rigorous multi-year assessment that marks their most dire and urgent climate analysis to date. The report synthesizes scientists’ key findings, predictions, and recommendations for the best ways to reduce global […]
Our bean project needs sponsors! Will you show some love? Did you know that pulses— the dry, edible seeds of legumes, which includes beans, peas, chickpeas, and lentils— are one of the best foods for heart health? Not only do they confer a host of protective and preventative heart benefits, but doctors say eating pulses […]
Have you ever heard the claim that 86% of animal feed is inedible to humans? This statistic is often used to imply that animal farming merely uses the waste from farming human food. However, the research behind this figure shows the opposite: animal feed competes with food security. Let’s break it down: Byproducts and crop […]
Visit our handouts page to prepare for Earth Day/Month (or anytime). In their most dire climate report to date, the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has urged a switch to plant-based diets as the single most important shift individuals can make to halt the course of climate warming and prevent the most catastrophic […]
The holiday season is here, which means many of us are aswirl in festive decorations, joyful songs, gift-giving ideas, and of course, advertisements luring us in for lots and lots of shopping. Yet as conflicts, economic turmoil, and the ongoing climate crisis wreak havoc around the world, millions of people are thinking outside the box […]
A major change to how we farm is not only necessary, it’s inevitable. The 2019 Climate Change and Land IPCC report described the need to focus on changing land use and current agriculture practices in order to address the climate crisis. A quiet but growing trend of stock-free, otherwise known as veganic, farming can protect […]
In one of the largest multi-year studies of its kind, a report published in the International Journal of Epidemiology looked at more than 81,000 Seventh-day Adventists in the US and Canada, with participants pretty evenly split between vegetarians and meat-eaters. For five years, participants kept records of what kinds of foods they were eating, including […]
In recent decades, leading environmental organizations and policy makers have been conspicuously silent on the environmental impacts of our food choices. In particular, many activists have critiqued the absence of dialogue around the disproportionately destructive impacts of animal agriculture. But that appears to be changing.
Animal gifting charities encourage supporters to purchase cows and goats for families in countries experiencing extreme hunger and poverty, often pointing to traditions such as pastoralism and nomadic herders’ longstanding reliance on livestock for sustenance. However, in response to climate change, pastoralists are increasingly abandoning animal husbandry and shifting to growing drought tolerant crops and climate resilient, indigenous fruits and vegetables instead.
