'Killing an animal: What it actually means to eat meat'

16:40 Jun 24
'Eating meat sucks for the environment: It emits greenhouse gases, leads to deforestation, and wastes a lot of water. But is there a way to eat meat more sustainably? And what does it take to get that juicy steak on our plates? Our reporter Kai Steinecke tried to find out.  We\'re destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn\'t need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we\'ll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess.  #PlanetA #AnimalWelfare #GreenhouseGases  READ MORE:  Environmental impacts of food production:  https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impacts-of-food  The sustainability of conventional and organic farming: https://science.sciencemag.org/content/sci/360/6392/987.full.pdf, https://science.sciencemag.org/content/sci/suppl/2018/05/30/360.6392.987.DC1/aaq0216-Poore-SM-revision1.pdf  Meat’s emissions along the supply chain: https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impacts-of-food#where-do-the-emissions-from-our-food-come-from  Less meat vs. Sustainable meat: https://ourworldindata.org/environmental-impacts-of-food#less-meat-is-nearly-always-better-for-your-carbon-footprint-than-sustainable-meat  ► Check out our channel trailer: https://youtu.be/T8EiTHe6eXg ► Want to see more?
