Experts argue for a just and inclusive transition away from animal agriculture to support environmental and public health using five principles governments can follow.
The world’s growing appetite for meat and other animal products presents threats to human health and the environment in addition to its impact on animal health and welfare.
To address these concerns, SEI experts in a new CABI One Health article argue for a managed transition away from industrial animal production that addresses the negative consequences of animal agriculture while also protecting communities that rely on the industry and affected animals. Following the author’s recommendations, governments can equally balance the health of people, animals and ecosystems.
The article details the following principles for a just transition in animal agriculture:
Project / The world’s appetite for animal products continues to grow, with profound implications for the environment, human health and animal welfare.
SEI report / This groundbreaking report charts routes toward a just transition away from large-scale meat production and consumption in high-consuming countries.
Perspective / Animal welfare matters for sustainable development. The UN Environmental Assembly should recognize this link.
Journal article / Ahead of Stockholm+50, more than 200 experts call for governments to account for animal welfare as part of a holistic sustainable development policy.
