What is the briefing titled ‘Can Veganism Mitigate World Hunger and Starvation?’ about?
A plant-based food economy will promote a more efficient food production system better capable of feeding the world.
What are the key points in the hunger briefing?
Multiple studies show that we can feed far more people on a plant-based, vegan diet.
Over 75% of the world’s grains and soy used for food are fed to animals.
Most of the grains and soy used for animal feed could provide good nutrition to humans.
The reason we can feed far more on a vegan diet is because animal agriculture is extremely inefficient.
Many countries export grain or provide food for animals destined to be eaten by the more affluent, while their own children are starving.
