Amazon lost about 44 million hectares to agriculture in 35 years, 86.3% of which became pasture and 13.6% were used for agriculture.
That’s almost the size of Sweden. We really should get used to eating less meat. The worst part is it has to be a global change since most of the meat is exported and that’s where they get the most profit.
I believe in you! You can cut down on animal products! One by one we may change the distressing trajectory our planet is on!
Less meat isn’t gonna cut it, that industry will still be there and will find ways do more harm to increase profitability. We need to stop meat and dairy altogether.
This is the only way we can repurpose all the farmland wasted for animal agriculture.
“Fell”
It’s not saying they magically fell over. To fell a tree simply means to cut it down. You are making it fall.
