We generally live in a meat world. Many table pleasures revolve around animal products, whether their flesh, eggs or milk. Vegans refrain from eating them, a strong political gesture to show that there are other ways of eating and living. But would a 100% vegan world be possible?
In this Brut capsule, two experts weigh in on the question. It seems that studies show that, in general, a considerable reduction in meat consumption (especially ruminant meat) would have beneficial effects on carbon dioxide production and would reduce the need for land, since a large proportion of crops are used to feed farm animals.
But this paradigm shift would not solve everything. An entirely vegan diet would lead to much greater water consumption by crops. Nor would the risk of pollution be reduced by the increased use of chemical fertilizers, since we would no longer be able to use animal excrement.
In fact, it would seem that scenarios in which animal consumption is considerably reduced would be the most ideal. They would lead to a significant reduction in pollution without dispensing with certain advantages of farm animals, such as the natural fertilizers they produce and the fact that they also consume waste generated by agriculture.
