Published last week in the journal Nature Food, the study analysed dietary data from over 55,000 individuals, including those who eat large amounts of meat and those who eat small amounts of animal products, as well as pescatarians, vegetarian, and vegans.It also linked that data with information on the environmental impacts of foods consumed in relation to greenhouse gas emissions, land use, water use, water pollution risk and biodiversity loss.<\/p>\n<p>Using data from more than 38,000 farms in over 100 countries, the study found that the impact of vegan diets was was just a quarter of that of diets with a high meat intake for greenhouse gas emissions and land use, as well just 27 per cent of that for water pollution, 46 per cent for water use, and 34 per cent for biodiversity.<\/p>\n<p>Even the impact of individuals following low meat diets was roughly 30 per cent less than high meat eaters, the study found. Lead author of the study, Professor Peter Scarborough, said the findings clearly showed that that cutting down on meat and dairy could have a significant impact on driving down the impacts of diets on climate change and the environment.<\/p>\n<p>The global food system accounted for approximately one-third of total greenhouse gas emissions in 2015, according to the University of Oxford, while it is also estimated that the food system is responsible for 70 per cent of the world&#8217;s freshwater use and 78 per cent of freshwater pollution. In order to help reduce emissions and the negative environmental impacts of the UK food system, the Climate Change Committee (CCC) has previously called for a 20 per cent cut in meat and dairy consumption by 2030.<\/p>\n<p>It follows separate research last week which indicates that &#8216;vegan&#8217; and &#8216;plant-based&#8217; labels on food packaging may risk putting diners off ordering more environmentally-friendly food options. According to a poll of more than 2,000 UK adults commissioned by meat-free food brand Julienne Bruno, almost half do not want their food labelled as &#8216;plant-based&#8217; or &#8216;vegan&#8217;, and would be more likely to order greener food options if the ingredients were simply listed instead.<\/p>\n<p>The poll found 45 per cent of UK diners would be more keen to order planet-friendly food if the ingredients were listed clearly, instead of simply being labelled as &#8216;vegan&#8217; or &#8216;plant-based&#8217;, according to the firm. That includes two-fifths of meat eaters and more than half of pescatarians and vegans, it said.<\/p>\n<p>The phrase &#8216;plant-based&#8217; was also found to have become more of a deterrent than the term &#8216;vegan&#8217;, with 37 per cent of survey respondents voicing their distaste for the term versus just 32 per cent for &#8216;vegan&#8217;. However, more than three-quarters of those who took part in the survey do not think the plant-based boom is over, according to the company.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4120702\/research-meatless-diets-75-cent-environmentally-harmful\">Business Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/research-meatless-diets-up-to-75-per-cent-less-environmentally-harmful\/\">Research: Meatless diets up to 75 per cent less environmentally harmful<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[10798,367,575,10814,2050],"class_list":["post-115618","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-diet","tag-environment","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-meatless","tag-research"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=115618"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/115618\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=115618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=115618"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/fi\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=115618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
