Replacing beef alone with meat-based alternatives would provide around half of the emissions reductions.
Greenhouse gas emissions connected to agriculture and land use could be cut by 31% in 2050 if consumption of meat and milk were reduced by half.
Forests are cleared to make way for cattle and the grain needed to feed them, while cows belch methane, a potent greenhouse gas whose warming effect is much more powerful than carbon dioxide. In that scenario, the amount of land dedicated to agricultural uses falls by 12% instead of continuing to expand.
In addition, it would boost biodiversity. Restored land area could contribute between 13% and 25% of the estimated land restoration needed by 2030 under a target set in a global treaty hammered out at the end of last year. Sub-Saharan Africa, China and Southeast Asia would see the biggest reductions in biodiversity losses, while carbon sequestration levels would improve the most in sub-Saharan Africa and South America, notably Brazil.
