[BCFSN] Dietary changes will help more sustainable agriculture meet increased global food demand

[Pamela Zevit Adamah Consultants]

>From the Science for Environmental Policy News (European Commission): 

 

Researchers have assessed how changes in production efficiency and dietary patterns can combine to
ensure food supply whilst minimising the global environmental impact of food production. The gain in
the production efficiency of agriculture was found to be insufficient to meet future food demand
whilst preventing additional environmental burdens, if dietary trends continue to grow based on GDP.
Changing consumption patterns, including switching to less resource-demanding diets, would
contribute towards ensuring future food security whilst preventing further increases in
agriculture's environmental burden. Reducing terrestrial animal production offers significant
advantages, but alternative diets can also present environmental and production trade-offs.

The word Adamah is rooted in the Hebrew language (Adam - man, Adamah - earth) and is interpreted as
the "land from which man was made".  At its roots lies the recognition of our species intrinsic
connection to the earth and the inherent responsibility to protect and sustain it.
