The Solution
WHAT WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT
Current agricultural production methods have a devastating impact on the environment and society. Raising livestock to feed more people more protein will only make the situation worse
>15%
of all GHG emissions is caused by livestock farming
It is the second largest contributor to GHG emissions driving climate change
33%
of our planet’s arable land is used to feed livestock
52% of agricultural land is affected by soil degradation
70%
of freshwater withdrawals are used for agriculture
Yet only 3% of the world’s water is fresh
20-50%
increase in per-animal yield has occurred over the past 60 years
We are approaching the biological limits of productivity growth
>20%
of animal production losses are linked to diseases
>50 nations recorded African Swine Fever outbreaks and >60 reported killing poultry due to bird flu
10%
of the world’s population is undernourished
Which means that 800mn people go to bed hungry every day
CAN BE PART OF THE SOLUTION
The Issue
no ACTION
CLIMATE CHANGE
NO action
+38% GHG emissions to reach 2050 food demand, ~50% from livestock
75% LOWER GHG EMISSIONS
The Issue
LAND DEGRADATION
NO action
+56% demand for agricultural land by 2050, roughly 2x the size of India
99% LESS LAND & NO SOIL
DEGRADATION
DEGRADATION
The Issue
WATER MISUSE
NO action
+15% water increase by 2050 to deliver
protein demand
>95% LESS WATER &
NO MORE DISCHARGE
NO MORE DISCHARGE
The Issue
PRODUCTIVITY LIMITS
NO action
~60bn more animals required per year,
unsustainable, intensive production
HIGHLY SCALABLE PROCESS WITHOUT SLAUGHTER
The Issue
DISEASE
NO action
Continued growth in outbreaks, increased likelihood of crossover to humans
NO RISK OF ZOONOTIC OR ANIMAL DISEASES
The Issue
FOOD INSECURITY
NO action
Growing demand may lead to +8% increase in share of people at risk of hunger
SUSTAINABLE SUPPLY TO FOOD-INSECURE NATIONS
