For the planet
A 2018 Oxford study of 38,700 farms in 119 countries found that moving to a plant-based diet is the single biggest action any one person can take to reduce their environmental impact.
Food systems produce between 26% and 34% of global greenhouse-gas emissions, depending on how the boundary is drawn. Livestock alone occupies about 80% of global farmland while providing only 18% of calories and 37% of protein. It is, by any honest accounting, the most inefficient way we could feed ourselves.
The consequences reach beyond climate. Cattle grazing is the single largest driver of Amazon deforestation. Feed crops for animals are the largest driver of soy expansion. Manure runoff and antibiotic overuse are two of the largest freshwater-quality problems on Earth. Moving toward plants is not a fringe environmental preference — it is arithmetic.

People come to plant-based living from very different doors. The reasons differ; the destination converges.
More than 80 billion land animals — and trillions of aquatic ones — are killed for food each year. Most never see the sun.
