In a new podcast, WRI's Lawrence Macdonald chats with Janet Ranganathan and Richard Waite, authors of a new paper, Shifting Diets for a Sustainable Food Future. The paper shows that eating less meat, particularly beef, and moving toward diets with a greater share of plant-based foods reduces pressure on forests and land, lowers greenhouse gas emissions and sets us up for a more sustainable future.
The paper also tackles the crucial question of how to shift people's diets at scale, an issue we take up in the second half of the podcast.
