I know, right? I've transitioned into a plant based diet, and my household is slowly transitioning as well. My stomach took some time to transition (gassy for a few weeks), but now I'm fine. My sister is on board and doesn't even enjoy the taste of meat anymore. Legumes are a GREAT way to get your protein, and much healthier than artificial meat, as long as you aren't allergic.
This would all be so much easier if people were generally more educated on the topics of climate change, food production, biodiversity and its importance and plastic waste and its consequences. Education systems all over the world should teach these things to children, because children who are aware of these problems become adults who can make a change.
I agree with you in general, but, I live in an area with highly educated people who will say they believe in climate change and we should do something about it. They bring their reusable bags to the store so as not to take a plastic bag, etc. That's were it stops. These same people drive gas inefficient cars, light gas fireplaces everyday during winter months for "ambiance", drive and fly to various destinations for family gatherings and vacations, and barbecue some sort of meat almost every night on their propane grills. I'm not sure what will turn things around, but education alone will not do it unless it is couple with real lifestyle changes.

Should be implemented everywhere my guy but you dont know about greenhouse production because its extremely expensive and basic crops aren economically feasible in greenhouses
Food production shouldn't be monopolized in the hands of a few who have the capital resources to run operations like these artificial foods labs or vertical farms. I'm not against that becoming a thing, because it sounds great as the means of sustainably producing the food we'll need to feed our increasing population, but we should be simultaneously investing in the ability for the masses to produce organic food locally. Here in Hawaii we are already dependent on food imports, and in the case of disaster we lack the ability to feed ourselves without aid, so we must counter this by growing our own food and being self-sufficient.

You are correct there, it is better to address the problem with a natural process rather than lab/artificial anything. So much misinformation is being spread and most people are tricked into believing technology is the best solution. A perfectly natural process if carried out correctly can feed everyone healthy food from the soil and put carbon back where it came from in the first place. Let's look at the root cause/source of the problem so we can address it rather than identify the problem and address it with technology. By merely finding a solution to a problem doesn't take the problem away as the root cause isn't being addressed.
@@tjarlzquoll9835 if that is what it needs to be called to interest people, it can be. However you do not necessarily need technology of any kind to produce food with regenerative farming. I would say understanding and knowledge is ultimately needed for a truely regenerative practice to work. Let nature do the work, so you don't have to spend time and money fighting against it, which is common in today's conventional agriculture which relies solely on technology.
It all depends on what kinds of food or sources of food production you are talking about. The sustainability of the food system is purely a collaboratively systematic work that requires all parts to coordinate and cooperate. Will plant-based food ALONE save the planet? ... how about the extensive farming and the of life pastors in rangelands? It may not be a single/simple answer.
Extensive farming? Animal-based food requires more farming than plant based food. You need farms to grow the food that will be eaten by cows, pigs, goats. And then those cows pigs and goats will be eaten by humans. So if you simply cut the animals from the middle and ate directly from the farm, you'd need to do less farming.
We don't need to move beyond beef. We need to reduce beef consumption. If we switch cattle production from the stock yard to being ranched on the prairies, or steppes we can restore natural grassland carbon sinks. Beef on the table and carbon in the ground, is a win win situation.
For some population of the world right now, 'eating' itself is a great thing. Forget about sustainable tomorrow. There is enough production, supply chain is the problem.
food production isnt the first problem we have to solve it comes second. first we need cheap reliable and idealy green source of energy - thorium fission and later fusion - 5 years once you have this you can build fully automated vertical farms - 1 or 2 years of developing tech for this. in the meantime we could find a way to produce meat in a lab- 2 years if we focus on this. with high amount of vegetables + meat we could revert to more helthier standarts of living - i like to point out japan where fast food have to compete with restaurants with healthy alternatives - rest of the world is lacking in this regard. we should drive prices of energy, food, and living to 0 and we can do that overtime.
I’m a farmer and work in Ag and I don’t believe this arguments hold water. Fastest way to reduce carbon footprint on food is to reduce food waste not change the means of production
The globalist elites want to reduce the independent farmers. They want to force people to only consume their lab grown meats and vegetables so they could earn massive dividends from their green tech stocks... Wake up the world those elites arent our friends
Serious question: How does eating meat contribute to the carbon-positive cycle? It's carbon that already exists in the current system. Fossil fuels I understand because it comes from underneath the ground, but I don't get how cows eating grass and farting contributes to climate issues because the carbon already exists.
Méthane produced by the cows did not exist prior to the cow because it is literall produced while the cow is alive, growing the total amount of methane in the word. The next problem with cows is that they are not efficient in terms of transforming calories into meat. Basically, a lot of food if wasted in heat and keeping the cow alive. If we eat more cows; we grow more crops and produce more carbon
@@alextran1434 - Methane didn’t exist before the cow? How long do you think cows have roamed the earth, genius ?? How about the first ruminants ? Do you think ruminants just started emitting methane in the last 100 years?
Land clearing for grazing leads to loss of carbon (amongst other problems). The total number of ruminants is on an ever increasing trend… so more methane.
Not really. Even in the woke US, meat consumption on a per capita basis is INCREASING, even though beef consumption has been declining in the past 35 years (not because of this bogus environmental issue). These vegan clowns find a soapbox like UA-cam and make it sound like the world’s in their side, but it’s not. Personally, I’m not interested in even cutting back ...
Yeah, well-done(!) Focus on burgers rather than focusing on the elephant in the room which are energy(electric,coal,nuclear and petrol), fishing and mining sectors. Stop changing the focus from where it should be. The number of cattle hasn't changed in the last 20 years. That does not even make a dent compared to energy sectors negative effects.
If we hit the gas on vertical farms, GMO's, and cut back on meat production, or have a breakthrough in synthetic meat, than we could completely and cheaply offset whole food products in exchange for proof of servings making it to the end user- trivializing food costs at the store and keeping food service competitive. At the same time our surplus could feed other countries, and our supply chain would be much more resistant to fluctuations. I see a program like this being possible as early as 2030, with excess going to other countries as soon as our current grain shortage is over. Especially if we decrease meat subsidies as market pressures let up, keeping the new elevated price of meat.
In Ghana people eat meet a lot. It's not the poorest country in Africa at all! People are largely not educated about nutrition and climate effects of meat production. If anyone would like to develop such a program in Ghana - I am available to be employed. It's a new 'green business idea' for you here. :)
Producing carbohydrates for food consumption is the most damaging for humans. Using mostly diesel engine vehicles in farming to produce sugar and cereals is a double blow to us all. Carbohydrates is causing all sorts of damage to the body and accelerate the ageing process almost exponentially.
I'm from Japan and not an expert. I started to wonder if the government may put taxes on consumptions of beef. Actually, I did a quick research on this and found out that some countries such as Sweden, Denmark, or Germany are considering implementing "meat tax". I guess this could work and reduce the impact on the planet in some ways. However, there will be huge backlashes from agricultural industries.
For something from The Economist, I found this oddly incomplete. "Regenerative agriculture and animal husbandry" was not mentioned. And did I hear anyone say "peanuts"? No. They should: a legume and "nut" at the same time, high protein and nutrient/energy dense, water sparing, self pollinating and nitrogen fixing. Easy to combine with other plant proteins for completeness. Readily accepted throughout the world. Already grown at scale worldwide with a global market. Peanuts along with other legumes are part of the solution.

What about bison as a source of sustainable meat? With the right natural grass grown naturally, there is no farming required. It become as sustainable as wild-caught fish.
If there's already 2 billion people eating insects, why don't we let them and their offspring keep on eating bugs? It was said in the end that eating habits are actually cultural and emotional. If there's already a large part of the human population eating insects, just let them keep on eating what they see fit. I'm certainly not starting to eat any bugs.
If we eat insects then the no. Of pollinators for different plants will definitely got vanished that's why in my opinion it is totally wrong to eat them as also because they can have no of dangerous parasites also in their body that's why all organisms are interdependent to each other
I'm sure they are talking about farmed insects raised in sterile conditions, but I'm not eating insects anyway. No way. Why don't we talk about improving farming techniques and eating a plant based diet?

Regenerative Agriculture AKA low tech equals sustainable. Tech is the problem chemical farming and machine harvesting makes monocropping. Which is not sustainable.
This is baloney- they dismiss smaller-scale production and favor things like vertical farming, which is so energy intensive it's ridiculous. They cannot replace the energy in sunlight by using electrical bulbs, and the heat load is tremendous (the idea that alternative energy will compensate is silly). There is no discussion of the emergence of regenerative methods for both food production and meat production, which directly addresses climate issues. They are lost in a typical urban e-world.
Why is the black hair video turned off though!!!?? Every one of your videos comment section is turned on except that one !? Definitely not a coincidence
You can still eat chicken, pork, and other farmed fishes. Only Beef is just very inefficient way of producing food. No need for " Gourmet Insects",. Or you can follow the Indian way of eating, like we've been doing it for thousands of years, we actually didn't even eat meat before 7AD, before Islamists came here.
Sorry with everything going up people simply won't be able to buy food if they are all to move sustainable source. I rather feed my family first before thinking sustainable.
We should scale back. It would be more beautiful for the world population to naturally reduce to a level, where we can rely on traditional farming instead of those perverted ways of food production presented here.
We would use less fertilizer if we would grow the biblical way. Which is to allow your land to rest in the seventh year so that the animals can get a chance to ferti the land.
I don’t think that’s really relevant. Hunting is like “buying local and organic”. It’s niche and aside from the main methods by which we can feed people at scale.
The video nearly completely ignores the most likely meat analogue, plant-based meat substitutes. Plant-based meat substitutes are being sold commercially *now* at billion-dollar scale, and they can easily be scaled up to global scale, hundreds of billions of dollars, and sold for less cost than meat. I'd like to know the pros and cons of that trajectory.
If producing meat is so bad for the environment and our health, why do we think making something synthetic in a lab will be better for the environment and health. Think about where the ingredients come from to make artificial "meat", the cocktail of wizardry must be fed something produced in soil which probably is a monoculture. Same as for tofu production. Using serum from a pregnant cow at slaughter to produce a starter for lab meat? I thought the production of lab meat was a solution to farming and killing animals? How many cows need to be killed for that? Is it not wiser to make use of the natural meat from that dead cow? A single ingredient which can be produced without adulteration by chemicals.
I understand the impact of the meat production on the nature and therefore trying to decrease consumption of it. But I don’t like the idea of substituting it with something lab grown. It would be nice to see the impact of 100gram of lab grown mean on nature like E2E. You have include all the electricity used for it, number scientists using car to get to work ect.

What about bison as a source of sustainable meat? With the right natural grass grown naturally, there is no farming required. It become as sustainable as wild-caught fish.
If there's already 2 billion people eating insects, why don't we let them and their offspring keep on eating bugs? It was said in the end that eating habits are actually cultural and emotional. If there's already a large part of the human population eating insects, just let them keep on eating what they see fit. I'm certainly not starting to eat any bugs.
Booking I won't eat the bugs
they should meet with Eric Berg and understand why organic is important...
Sorry, no lab grown meat for me.
Reduce the gap between rich and poor, and avoid food waste. If all countries can perform this well, I think our food supply is sustainable enough.
If we eat insects then the no. Of pollinators for different plants will definitely got vanished that's why in my opinion it is totally wrong to eat them as also because they can have no of dangerous parasites also in their body that's why all organisms are interdependent to each other
I'm sure they are talking about farmed insects raised in sterile conditions, but I'm not eating insects anyway. No way. Why don't we talk about improving farming techniques and eating a plant based diet?
Let me guess: bugs?
Because of the economic crisis and the rate of unemployment, now is the best time to invest and make money 💯...
Steven is an expert trader and a certified broker, I've worked with him for years, everyone he processes he or her trade, is so lucky, all you have to do is believe in him and follow his guidance. Then sip your drink and relax.
Regenerative Agriculture AKA low tech equals sustainable. Tech is the problem chemical farming and machine harvesting makes monocropping. Which is not sustainable.
Kimchi❤
This is baloney- they dismiss smaller-scale production and favor things like vertical farming, which is so energy intensive it's ridiculous. They cannot replace the energy in sunlight by using electrical bulbs, and the heat load is tremendous (the idea that alternative energy will compensate is silly). There is no discussion of the emergence of regenerative methods for both food production and meat production, which directly addresses climate issues. They are lost in a typical urban e-world.
Why is the black hair video turned off though!!!?? Every one of your videos comment section is turned on except that one !? Definitely not a coincidence
I'll stick to beef.
(You all can enjoy "gourmet insects".)
You can still eat chicken, pork, and other farmed fishes.
Only Beef is just very inefficient way of producing food.
No need for " Gourmet Insects",.
Or you can follow the Indian way of eating, like we've been doing it for thousands of years, we actually didn't even eat meat before 7AD, before Islamists came here.
Sorry with everything going up people simply won't be able to buy food if they are all to move sustainable source.
I rather feed my family first before thinking sustainable.
We should scale back. It would be more beautiful for the world population to naturally reduce to a level, where we can rely on traditional farming instead of those perverted ways of food production presented here.
@Verum Similis I'm fine with that.
@Verum Similis lol exactly
Maybe just Cannibalism? Why not?
I think population control is the most important factor to sustainability.
what is the name of the first song?
Less protein and more carbo may be the answer.
Eat the bugs and live in your pods minions. Eat the lab-grown 'meat' too. I hope you enjoy your existence owning nothing in 10-15 years time, people.
I love meat. I can't stand vegans and kooky environmentalists. Oh, and I don't eat bugs...lol.
Steaks for everybody !!
I WILL NOT EAT THE BUGS
You definitely will, at least in case if there will be no alternatives)
We would use less fertilizer if we would grow the biblical way. Which is to allow your land to rest in the seventh year so that the animals can get a chance to ferti the land.
Before we start cutting back on meat, we need to get rid of all these worthless dogs and cats ...
Basically anything but meat until they discover a problem with that to
Say meat production instead of food production
👎
I will continue to be a hunter and eat meat
I used to be so against hunting but I now appreciate it. I still don’t know how to hunt but I want friends who do!
I don’t think that’s really relevant. Hunting is like “buying local and organic”. It’s niche and aside from the main methods by which we can feed people at scale.
@@ebrim5013 yes, but this agenda was created to prepare people for a low standard of living
Thats what I do, hunt, fish, raise cows, hogs, and chickens. I have not gotten any meat at a store for over 20 years.
@@billcarver6539 I fish too, we better eat quality food and leave the bugs to idiots
NO WAY !
The video nearly completely ignores the most likely meat analogue, plant-based meat substitutes.
Plant-based meat substitutes are being sold commercially *now* at billion-dollar scale, and they can easily be scaled up to global scale, hundreds of billions of dollars, and sold for less cost than meat. I'd like to know the pros and cons of that trajectory.
If producing meat is so bad for the environment and our health, why do we think making something synthetic in a lab will be better for the environment and health. Think about where the ingredients come from to make artificial "meat", the cocktail of wizardry must be fed something produced in soil which probably is a monoculture. Same as for tofu production. Using serum from a pregnant cow at slaughter to produce a starter for lab meat? I thought the production of lab meat was a solution to farming and killing animals? How many cows need to be killed for that? Is it not wiser to make use of the natural meat from that dead cow? A single ingredient which can be produced without adulteration by chemicals.
omnis will really eat anything but vegetables
I like soy meat. But it is still expensive.
i am hungry afffff
You could just not subsidised the farming and agriculture industries except for vegetables I'm sure the problem will resolved itself.
Solution is so simple and easy, stop making more kids. You are welcome world!
- Хуцпа, очередная.
Snow piercer
i am not giving up on beef
Industries product much more carbon dioxide. Beef is nothing in comparison to that .so don't give reason to develop another industry.
I'm betting on cannibalism.
All of this is a total lie...
eat ze bugs
I understand the impact of the meat production on the nature and therefore trying to decrease consumption of it. But I don’t like the idea of substituting it with something lab grown.
It would be nice to see the impact of 100gram of lab grown mean on nature like E2E. You have include all the electricity used for it, number scientists using car to get to work ect.
Wow, brainwashing at its finest!🤣🤣🤣
Lots of 🥩.
