So your data set shows 76% used for animals and 4% for industry. That's very similar to the figures I referred to.

[-] Rozlif@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago

Straight out not the case. lots of animals are on farmable land. Also animals eat lots of our crops eg 80% of the worlds soy. Here's one (of many possible ones) reference stating that we would only need 25% of the current agricultural land if the world went vegan. https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2022/01/28/if-everyone-were-vegan-only-a-quarter-of-current-farmland-would-be-needed

It absolutely could. Not with the current diet but if there was a shift to less meat then we could substantially reduce the amount of land used in food production.

Oddly enough I've had more people I'm interested in not want kids than do.

Yeah, you're right it's a different thing to doing it in cities, cooking is important. In my experience, I have lots of vegan rural friends however that's due to my social circle and isn't representive. In the uk apparently we are on 4.7% vegan now (1567% increase in 10 years) its become noticeably more over the last few years but probably not to the same level as cities.

vegan here who grew up on farms. Just because you don't know them doesn't mean they aren't common.

[-] Rozlif@feddit.uk 26 points 4 months ago

It does matter. In the uk being vegan is a protected trait and they have a legal obligation to not force you to change your morals. unlike what others have said vegetarian isn't a protected trait and gets less protection.

This impacts on your mental health positively by caring for something and you get to appreciate how you connect with your food.

Studies have shown kids that get involved in growing their food have incresed intelligence and test scores and they are more likely to eat their veg if they have grown it.

Growing your own food can be done in small areas with pots or vertical options such as netting or grow towers ect.

Growing your own food is becoming increasingly important with the cost of living crisis and the climate crisis. Now is a good time to learn some skills!
