A shift to a more #PlantBased global diet has a significant potential to free up land for rewilding and sequestering large amounts of carbon. sentientmedia.org/reducing-m…

Reducing Meat Consumption Would Free Up More Land for Climate Solutions

The message of the climate movement is clear: stop fossil fuel extraction and move to renewable energies. This is a great message, and a good start, but it’s not enough.

In the IPCC mitigation report AFOLU is presented as a key solution to the climate crisis as well. One human activity has played a major role in degrading land worldwide. Our diets. Across the board, "the greatest Shift potential would come from switching to plant-based diets."
