One of the biggest challenges we face is how to create a sustainable means of feeding ourselves as the population continues to increase. The current approach relies heavily on factory farming to supply meat and dairy products for human consumption, but these systems are completely unsustainable and will inevitably lead to mass global starvation if we continue to utilize them.
We eat more animal products than we need to — in fact, we would be much healthier overall if we reduced our intake of meat and dairy products. But the problem isn’t just the fact that most of us prefer a carnivorous diet; it’s the way we choose to supply the demand.
The heart of the problem is that by relying on factory farming methods, we inevitably waste natural resources in a highly inefficient manner. The math is relatively simple — we use far human-edible calories and other resources feeding farm animals than we get back from the meat and dairy products derived from them.
For instance, one of the resources we squander on factory farming methods is water.
