Fewer Livestock Actually Benefits Food Security
Marijn van der Pas, Patty Scholten, and Elleke Draaisma argue that the intensive livestock industry undermines food security due to its reliance on imported feed and fossil-fuel-based fertilizers. They contend that this model is inefficient, contributes significantly to climate change, and leaves the Netherlands vulnerable to global trade disruptions and geopolitical conflicts. The authors advocate for a shift toward agro-ecological farming and plant-based diets to create a more resilient and efficient food system.
