Any help please? Enviromental impacts of animal farming

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone!

 

I don't know if anyone can help. Hope so!

 

I am trying to find any researched information on the environmental

impacts of animal farming. I am doing a course which at the moment

is focussed on the environmental impacts of food production.

 

The study material mentions that 'it is frequently claimed that a

diet avoiding animal products has a lower impact on the environment

than one with meat and dairy'. It does nothing to support this idea

though (infact I beleive the author is sceptical about the whole

idea, and has swept the whole animal-free thing under the carpet. He

says he eats meat himself).

 

A vegan diet is surely better for the environment for many reasons,

but I need facts and figures. Me, quite new to the internet and get

nowhere fast, so if anyone knows where I could find info like this,

or could point me in the right direction, I would be really grateful.

If not, well, thanks anyway!

 

kind wishes
