Substituting 50% of animal products globally for plant-based would nearly halt deforestation and lead to 31% decline in land use and agricultural GHG emissions

Substituting 50% of animal products globally for plant-based would nearly halt deforestation and lead to 31% decline in land use and agricultural GHG emissions by 2050. "If spared agricultural land within forest ecosystems is restored to forest, climate benefits could double, reaching 92% of the previously estimated land sector mitigation potential." "While beef replacement provides the largest impacts, substituting multiple products is synergistic."
