According to the article—“Current Global Food Production Is Sufficient to Meet Human Nutritional Needs in 2050 Provided There Is Radical Societal Adaptation”—we could supply plenty of healthy food to the 9.7 billion people expected to share the planet in 30 years, without changing current crop yield.





The article states:

Overall, industrialised meat and dairy production, which currently relies on feeding 34% of human-edible crop calories to animals globally, is highly inefficient in terms of the provision of human nutrition.

Los Angeles Times this year claims we could This isn’t the first study to conclude that a vegan world could feed the planet’s growing population. An analysis published in thethis year claims we could feed all 327 million Americans, plus 390 million more people, simply by going vegan . Researchers determined that if the land required to produce animal products were used for a “nutritionally equivalent combination” of potatoes, peanuts, soybeans, and other edible plants, the total food available would increase by 120 percent.





If humans stopped using land and edible crops to feed animals bred and killed for meat and dairy, we could potentially end world hunger.





In fact, a 2015 Reuters article reports that U.N. officials believe going plant-based could alleviate human starvation: “Today half the world’s agricultural land is used for livestock farming, … which is far less efficient for feeding people—and worse for the environment—than producing grain, fruit and vegetables for direct human consumption.”









Cows, pigs, chickens, and fish raised and killed for food are subjected to unthinkable cruelties : tiny, filthy cages; horrific mutilations; and bloody, violent slaughter.





Sounds terrible, right? Watch.
