Green Fact

Using 2050 as a reference scenario, scientists suggest that food-related GHG emissions could be reduced by 45-55% through the worldwide adoption of a meatless diet. As a result, the environmental-related savings would equal $511 billion (USD) per year due to the avoided harm of less CO2 in the atmosphere.
