Maybe in terms of climate change but not in terms of forest habitat loss. If you get your meat from South America. Or palm oil from Indonesia.

- belorn 10y agoAgree, which is why buying from whoever is cheapest are rarely the best choice. Take Sweden. The loss of farming is causing a significant decrease in open fields, endangering several species who need that kind of habitat. Beef produce in Sweden is also about twice as expensive than the cheapest imported beef, so it becomes a price issue. This where certification can do a good job in guiding consumers to choose producers that in a local context has a net positive on the environment.
