A recent survey of environmental and agricultural scientists indicates an urgent need to reduce meat and dairy production to curb global warming. The experts suggest that global livestock emissions should peak by 2030 to meet climate targets. However, there is a lack of government policies to address rising meat consumption and pollution from factory farms. The survey emphasizes the need for a significant decrease in meat consumption as current practices are unsustainable. Transitioning to plant-based foods is highlighted as a more environmentally friendly and efficient solution. Despite industry pushback and political challenges, experts advocate for aggressive policies to achieve necessary reductions in livestock numbers and combat climate change.
