Meat consumption

Dades de Catalunya

The overconsumption of products of animal origin has proven to be closely related to a high environmental impact of the food sector and the climate crisis.


A reduction in the consumption of protein of animal origin, and its replacement by the consumption of protein of plant origin, would significantly contribute to mitigating the environmental impact derived from the food sector, both by releasing pressure on the soil and the rest of natural ecosystems, as well as the reduction of associated greenhouse gases.
