Eating insects part of green agenda..
Governments being urged to promote alternative protein
Get the maths done on emissions of plant based meat (or the vegetarian diet for that matter).
Grass fed beef is basically net zero emissions, correct.
Fertiliser, diesel, chemicals and other carbon inputs for crops produces 10 times the emissions of grass fed beef, and the fertiliser and diesel components are not offset by the growing crop. This also exposes soil and burning stubbles releases any recovered photosynthesised plant carbon straight back into the atmosphere.
The plants grown for fake milk and fake meat are far more chemical and fertiliser intensive than traditional oats or wheat or barley.
Plant based proteins and fake meat are 10 times worse for the atmosphere than grass fed beef.
I don’t know why the meat and livestock industry does not investigate and advertise this.
