🥗 What can we do about food, animals and nature?

...

‹ All topics

Livestock uses about three quarters of farmland for under a fifth of our calories, and tens of billions of land animals are farmed each year. Eating more plants is one of the biggest changes anyone can make.

Replace one meat meal with a plant-based one, especially beef. For animals, chicken and eggs matter most, because they involve far more animals per meal.

3Keep it going

Make it a habit, a few meals a week at first. Small donations to campaigns for farmed animals, such as The Humane League, bring measurable results.

🤝 What we can do as a society

1The idea

Less farmland, more space for nature. With fewer animals farmed, much less land is needed for food. HappyBein proposes that, over time, people use a fixed share of the land, and nature gets the rest back.

Fair Space Sharing
2What it would change

Fewer farmed animals means less suffering, lower emissions, cleaner water and room for wildlife to come back.

3How to push for it

Support better standards for farmed animals, public money for plant-based food and nature restoration, and the organisations already working on it.
