"The [livestock] sector is consuming a large share of the world's resources and is contributing a significant portion of global greenhouse gases emissions... taxes and fees for natural resource use, should cause producers to internalise the costs of environmental damages." PDF/Link

About AWFW

Mending our food system is a critical and necessary part of solving the world's most destructive and persistent problems. Fortunately, the foods that promote health and well-being are the same foods that conserve scarce resources to better feed the world, while reducing greenhouse gas emissions and protecting the environment.

A Well-Fed World seeks to reverse the so-called "Livestock Revolution"-- reducing global meat consumption and greening diets.  In addition to public education campaigns, AWFW pulls together top analysis from think tanks, public interest groups, and both governmental and non-governmental sources to enhance cooperation and improve decision-making at all levels.
