The role of governments and policy-making bodies is pivotal in shaping food systems, protecting animal welfare, and ensuring public health. This category explores how political decisions, legislation, and public policies can either perpetuate animal suffering and environmental degradation—or drive meaningful change toward a more just, sustainable, and compassionate future.
This section delves into the power dynamics that shape policy decisions: the influence of industrial lobbying, the lack of transparency in regulatory processes, and the tendency to prioritize short-term economic growth over long-term public and planetary well-being.

The Environmental Impact of Meat Production Meat production has a significant environmental impact, contributing to deforestation, water pollution, and biodiversity loss. Livestock agriculture is responsible for approximately 14.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions, more than the entire transportation sector. Reducing meat intake can help conserve water resources, as it takes a large amount of water to produce meat compared to plant-based foods. By reducing meat consumption, we can mitigate the environmental impact of agriculture and work towards a more sustainable food system. The …
