A study published in September in Nature Communications found that replacing 50% of pork, beef, chicken, and milk consumption with plant-based products could reduce global greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture and land use by 31%. Replacing 50% of animal-based foods with plant-based diets could also reduce biodiversity loss from 2.1% to 0.9% by 2025. If 90% of animal-based foods were replaced, biodiversity loss would actually be reversed between 2030 and 2040.
