[QUOTE="farenheit, post: 9012862, member: 27402"] This is a forum for farmers. It’s not really in anyone’s interest to admit it, but livestock farming is globally pretty bad for the environment (it’s not all Welsh hills ) and is a poor conversion of calories compared to plant based diets. However it’s tasty and relatively important for human’s balanced diets. The fact that we subject billions of sentient animals to a pretty poor life and worse death weighs heavily on me though. Again, this is probably something we do much better in the UK. If we went plant based, it would be a net benefit to climate and land use. I accept that the vast majority on here will disagree because their livelihood depends on it (and that includes arable farmers) . [/QUOTE]
