Earthsave Canada’s submission highlights the serious damage that animal agriculture does to the environment, including through greenhouse gas emissions, deforestation, water pollution, biodiversity loss, and inefficient use of land and water resources.
The government’s effort to support and accelerate innovation in plant-based foods is exciting and welcome news, as the evidence overwhelmingly shows that producing protein from plants takes far less land, water and energy than producing protein from animals, and of course spares animals from the cruelties inherent in animal agriculture.
The relationship between animal consumption and human illness is well established. The widespread adoption of a plant-based (vegan) diet could protect us against future pandemics.
"The findings, published in Science, indicate that ravens use spatial memory and navigation skills to search for food spread across large areas. According to Loretto,
Ravens Don’t Follow Wolves, They Predict Them
New research shows ravens use memory to locate areas where wolves are likely to make kills. Instead of trailing wolf packs, the birds rely on mental maps of productive hunting grounds.
"Some fungi-based food companies, such as Quorn, use the term mycoprotein to describe a food ingredient derived from a type of edible filamentous fungi, Fusarium
Most Agree Fungi-Based Food Is a Greener, Meat-Like Protein
Survey says majority agree fungi-based foods are sustainable meat alternatives with a protein profile that’s similar to meat, despite knowledge gaps around the reasons why.
"Animals convert human-edible grain very inefficiently into meat and milk. Studies show that for every 100 calories of human-edible grain fed to animals, only about
Feeding Grain To Farmed Animals Wastes Human Food - Faunalytics
Giving human-edible grain to farmed animals wastes enough food to feed two billion people. This report explains why a shift to “food not feed” is imperative.
