Relevant to such a strategy, estimating the environmental impacts of food products in a standardized way – as has been done with a dataset of more than 57,000 food products in supermarkets – could also be used to inform consumers or in policy, making consumers more aware of the environmental impacts of animal-based products (or requiring ...
The observed adverse impacts on livestock production include increased heat stress in all but the coldest nations. [6] [7] This causes both mass animal mortality during heatwaves, and the sublethal impacts, such as lower quantity of quality of products like milk, greater vulnerability to conditions like lameness or even impaired reproduction.

[ 97 ] [ 98 ] For example, avian influenza from poultry meat production is a threat to human health. [ 99 ]
Agricultural productivity (including e.g. reliability of yields) is an important component of food security [146] and increasing it sustainably (e.g. with high efficiency in terms of environmental impacts) could be a major way to decrease negative environmental impacts, such as by decreasing the amount of land needed for farming or reducing ...
What’s happening. Americans love meat. And despite a whole range of new plant-based alternatives that have hit the market, our appetite for pork, beef and poultry only seems to be growing ...
While intensive animal farming can produce large amounts of meat at low cost with reduced human labor, [10] it is controversial as it raises several ethical concerns, [11] including animal welfare issues (confinement, mutilations, stress-induced aggression, breeding complications), [12] [13] harm to the environment and wildlife (greenhouse ...
