Animal agriculture has turned humans into massive consumers of corn, doing enormous damage in the process. It doesn’t have to be so. We can stop eating animal products.
Some people argue that hunting is more sustainable than animal farming. In reality, neither is a feasible way to feed humans in even the medium-term future.
The recent IPCC report tells us that time is running out to prevent catastrophic global warming. We need to rapidly slash our emissions of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. But the report also offers hope. We can rise to the challenge. Going vegan is one of the most powerful ways to do it.
Fully plant-based diets are the most efficient and, thus, the most sustainable – by tremendous margins. We can all make changes today to move in the right direction.
In the early days, Farm Sanctuary was a shoestring operation. Gene and Lorri funded it by selling tofu hot dogs at Grateful Dead concerts. Over the years, it has grown tremendously.

Pimentel reports that over just the last four decades of the 20th century, some 30% of the world’s arable land became unproductive. Half of the topsoil in the breadbasket of North America has been lost since 1900.
The authors find that widespread adoption of vegan diets would be – again, by far – the most effective approach.
Being vegan helps prevent the suffering of innocent animals, slows global warming, and benefits the environment in many additional ways....
The children were fed either low nutrient vegetarian diets or high nutrient meat diets. Foods with similar nutrient quality are very definitely possible without meat, but that was not what the kids were offered.
The bill has been called out as obviously unconstitutional by a plethora of legal experts. According to those experts, mostly law professors, major provisions in it may not withstand challenge in the courts.
Sadly, when it comes to plant-based foods, none is more damaging than coconut oil. It's even worse than palm oil.
Coconut oil, conservation and the conscientious consumer
Conscientious consumption of agricultural products is hindered by a lack of objective guidance and a distorted public discourse. Meijaard et al. use the environmental impacts of coconut production to illustrate the need for improved measures that facilitate fair and transparent comparisons among pro...
