Vlees van hier’ is bijna altijd minder duurzaam dan ‘groenten van elders’
‘Vlees van hier’ is bijna altijd minder duurzaam dan ‘groenten van elders’.
Plus: de milieuimpact is slechts één aspect. Dat het niet ethisch is om dieren te doden voor voedselconsumptie geldt altijd ongeacht de ‘voedselkilometers’.
QUOTE
“As a rule of thumb, one can be almost certain that meat products, local or not, are less sustainable than vegetables imported even from the furthest point of the globe. Medical or ethical considerations aside, emissions from meat are simply too high, a fact which makes food miles a negligible part of the comparison.”
QUOTE
“Of course, some plant-based items also cause lots of emissions, but this is not related to their transportation. The meat of grazing animals remains the worst choice from an emissions perspective. Let us remember this before we next chew on our local mutton. “
