    I applaud the small victories where they occur but global demand for meat is increasing exponentially with the rise of newly emerging countries.

    Despite clear concerns about climate breakdown viewed as an issue of a global emergency by two thirds of 1 million people surveyed from 50 countries, switching to plant-based dietary choices was not seen positively as the solution In a recent simulation study, Henchion et al. reported the projected demand for animal-based protein until 2050 and noted that decreases in meat consumption in European and American regions were possible, should effective policies be implemented to support a more sustainable food system. However, the study reported that these decreases would be accompanied by increased consumption in African and South-East Asian regions, rendering little change to the global average

    The global meat demand is projected to continue rising until the 2050s in the best case scenarios. It will quadruple demand from the year 2000
