Meat: the four futures

TABLEdebates

10 episodes

1 week ago

Join us as we explore four VERY different visions for what the future of meat and livestock should look like: No meat, more meat, alternative 'meat', and less meat. We'll ask: What does each future look like? Who supports which future and why? And what does the evidence actually say? We visit farms, labs, and universities across the world to investigate the evidence, engage with tricky ethical dilemmas, and imagine future possible worlds. Our hope? To depolarise a very polarised conversation. For more info, visit: https://tabledebates.org/meat

6. Plant-based - Planet friendly or unnatural?

Should we remove animals from agriculture and our diets altogether? What if all the land that produces animal feed now could instead produce human food--or be rewilded? Would this be a planet friendly future--or impoverished and unnatural?

In this fourth and final scenario: the plant-based no meat future, we explore the motivations, the evidence and the arguments for adopting a diet that centers and celebrates plants. We visit a vegan restaurant in Stockholm, Sweden; a vegan food tech company in Lagos, Nigeria; and an animal free farm outside of Reading in the United Kingdom.

But is dietary change at a societal scale unrealistic? Is this the most sustainable, ethical and efficient approach to eating and producing food? We explore all this and more.
