Experts advise limiting burger consumption to maintain environmental sustainability. A reduction in meat and dairy intake is crucial to prevent climate change from disrupting food production. The expert cites that growing plant-rich diets can increase agricultural land availability and stabilize food prices, which have been spiking due to climate conditions. Studies show that minimizing meat consumption greatly impacts greenhouse gas emissions, suggesting that changes in dietary habits could prevent potential future crises related to food shortages and civil unrest due to rising costs.
A shift to plant-rich diets in the UK would free an area almost the size of Scotland.
Those who love chicken, pork and beef shouldn't worry though - as they'd still be able to enjoy their favourite meals.
Research by agricultural economists found a third of UK food price increases in 2023 resulted from climate change.
The biggest opportunity we have for reducing food's environmental impacts across many countries is increasing the amount of plants we eat.
