EU "Must" Cut Meat And Dairy Production

Europe’s animal farming sector has exceeded safe bounds for greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient flows and biodiversity loss, and urgently needs to be scaled back, according to a major report.

Pressure on livestock farmers is set to intensify this century as global population and income growth raises demand for meat-based products beyond the planet’s capacity to supply it.

The paper’s co-author, Professor Allan Buckwell, endorses a Greenpeace call for halving meat and dairy production by 2050, and his report’s broadside is squarely aimed at the heart of the EU’s policy establishment.

OK professor, so what are they going to eat? Beans? And where will those beans be grown?

Suggestions such as those in the above paper demonstrate one of two things:
  1. Either the academic world is TOTALLY out of touch with reality,
  2. Or we are.

There appears to be only one way out of this predicament - cull the human herd. Or sell us as food to ETs.
