Ein globaler Wandel hin zu pflanzlicher Ernährung könnte die Landwirtschaft weltweit verändern, heißt es in einer Oxford-Studie. Bis 2030 könnte der Arbeitskräftebedarf in der Landwirtschaft um bis zu 28 % sinken, während Millionen neuer Arbeitsplätze in der Obst-, Gemüse- und Hülsenfruchtproduktion entstehen, wodurch jedes Jahr bis zu 995 Milliarden US-Dollar an Arbeitskosten eingespart werden.

A global shift toward fewer people could do the same. We’ve known all this for decades. I = PAT. The issue isn’t what do we need to do. It is, how do we convince people to do it? You see no credible response to the climate crisis, complete ignorance of the Sixth Extinction, and massive rises in wealth inequality seeing hundreds of millions sliding into poverty. The technical solutions are and have long been obvious.

How do you have 100s of millions in savings at the lowest estimate when that estimate comes from the lowest number of jobs saved under current ag model equal to the lowest number of jobs created in the veggie model? However, that’s a moot point because we’ve known about the many benefits of going veggie for decades. The only question is how you do it.
