Current food systems are responsible for one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions and for nearly 80 percent of biodiversity loss. And it reduces the climate and environmental footprint of growing, processing, and transporting industrially farmed animal food. Today, this model of industrial agriculture is no longer fit for purpose.
