FutureofFood: The world’s meat industry must adapt to climate change and growing demand for plant-based alternatives or face 'ruin,' according to a group of investors

LONDON - The world’s meat industry must adapt to the challenges posed by climate change and growing demand for plant-based alternatives or face ruin, according to a group of investors managing $20 trillion in assets.

As a leading contributor to global carbon emissions, through deforestation and the methane produced by livestock, the meat sector faced a particularly acute risk, but has yet to act in a meaningful way, the FAIRR Initiative investor group said. Of 43 listed meat companies assessed, only two had publicly disclosed a climate-related scenario analysis, FAIRR said.

Put a fork in it!

The meat industry in ruin is not a bad thing. It is a movement towards a global human civilization which should include kindness, not carnivorous deprivation perpetrated upon billions of other animals.
