Addressing the ongoing problems of climate change, human hunger and inequality, and animal exploitation in our food system starts with sustainable agriculture.
The Intersecting Benefits of Sustainable Agriculture
Is Alternative Meat Better for the Environment?
Meat alternatives come in many forms, some novel and others with a long history of traditional uses. In any form, alternative meat has a promising future nourishing human societies while respecting animals and the environment.
The Importance of Sustainable Agriculture
Sustainable farming offers solutions to the economic, environmental, and animal welfare concerns of our industrial food system.
The Food System of Tomorrow: A Call to Action
It is important to transform food systems at global and local levels to reduce GHG emissions, improve ecosystem health, respect animal welfare, and re-balance rural economies.
Building a Food System that Supports the UN Sustainable Development Goals
Industrial agriculture is threatening its own future, and ours along with it. Sustainable plant-based food production can become a way of healing our earth, our communities, and our health.
The High Cost of Consuming Animals
Worldwide, roughly 70 billion animals are raised and slaughtered each year within the food system. Producing so many animals comes with a high price for us, for animals, and for our planet. These costs make the UN Sustainable Development Goals much harder to achieve.
Industrial Agriculture Threatens Sustainable Development
The rise of industrial agriculture has built agribusiness empires while endangering human, animal and environmental health. To bring the SDGs within reach, we must confront the challenge of achieving a sustainable food future.
Our Vision for a Sustainable Food System
Our current industrial food system is a primary driver behind many of the underlying problems described by the SDGs. To achieve the SDGs, we must transform food production and food consumption into forces that strengthen, rather than weaken, global progress toward sustainable development.
