Meat is the world’s largest driver of deforestation, wildlife extinction, displacement of Indigenous peoples. Meat, dairy, and aquaculture cause more climate pollution than all world’s cars, trucks, and ships combined. Meat industry is responsible for 57 percent of all food production emissions, about 9.8 gigatons of carbon dioxide equivalent per year.
The Retail Soy Group adopted a Roadmap intended to drive an end to deforestation for meat, with a focus on animal feed. The Roadmap was a significant development after years of failure by meat and feed companies to take meaningful steps.
