The plant-based solution to hunger and poverty

Poverty, malnutrition, and hunger are a result of politics, not scarcity, says Barbara Unmüssig.

The way we eat in the industrialised world is unhealthy, unjust, and unsustainable. Far too much of the meat we consume is produced under questionable ecological, ethical, and social conditions.

And now our industrial model for meat production is being exported to the global south — especially India and China — where meat consumption is rising among these countries’ emerging middle classes.
