(3) Meаt cоnsumptiоn: There аre cоncerns thаt meat consumption will increase globally in the next few decades. This has implications on ecological sustainability (as well as human health). First, present data on how excessive meat production negatively impacts our ecosystem. Second describe dietary changes to decrease meat consumption and present data on how these would decrease impact on ecosystem (e.g., water use, deforestation, greenhouse gases etc). Third describe how policy changes and educational interventions could effectively have people decrease meat consumption.
