It seems an irrefutable truth that raising animals for meat has
become unsustainable. Land is being eroded and destroyed, water
resources overdrawn, greenhouse gases overemitted, and energy and
crops unnecessarily diverted - all to satiate a growing and
inequitable global overconsumption of meat. But is all meat
unsustainable? Sustainable food systems are multiple and varied and
represent the diversity and complexity we see in the world. A range
of socio-ecological and political-economic challenges and solutions
are involved in the question of whether sustainable meat
consumption exists. Green Meat? teases out some of that complexity
in order to consider what roles animals and their products might
play in the future as the world works towards new ways of living.
Through an interdisciplinary lens, scholars and practitioners
critically examine the multifaceted dimensions of "green meat":
contributors confront the industrial production and slaughter of
animals, ask what it means to be a carnivore, and consider the
possibilities of regenerative animal agriculture and cellular
agriculture. The book analyzes ongoing damage to the landscape, the
climate, and water systems caused by conventional livestock
production and looks at current debates about the place of meat in
sustainable agri-food systems. An expansive inquiry into food
production practices, Green Meat? will inspire the kind of
discussion and debate necessary to grapple with the complex issue
of sustainability.
