Collectively, we must transform the global food system and work toward ending animal agriculture and rewilding much of the world. Researchers have long issued warnings about the consequences of our livestock-dominated food system. The problem isn’t some people’s taste for seemingly strange delicacies, but rather our global, profit-driven, meat-centered food system. We need a more resilient food system that puts less stress on the planet and on public health. And it would reduce the outbreak of new epidemics by reducing contact between humans and wild animals and by restoring biodiversity.
