"The World Resources Institute (WRI)’s newly‐released paper, Shifting Diets for a Sustainable Food Future (Ranganathan et al., 2016), uses the GlobAgri‐WRR (“GlobAgri”) model and finds that diets high in meat and dairy do lead to far greater greenhouse gas emissions and land use demands. WRI’s paper finds that in countries like the United States where meat and dairy consumption is high, shifting to diets with less beef and other animal products would cause fewer greenhouse gas emissions and free up resources to sustainably feed a growing world population"
