The founder and CEO of Impossible Foods says eliminating animal agriculture and replacing it with plant-based proteins can turn back the clock on climate change.
Pat Brown was on a recent Danforth Plant Science Center forum, “This prehistoric technology, the use of animals as a technology for transforming plants into meat, fish and dairy products, blown up to a global scale, is the greatest threat to our future that humanity has ever faced,” says Brown, “Eliminating animal agriculture would enable photosynthesis, the original carbon capture technology and still the best, to convert atmospheric CO2 back into plant biomass to restore health ecosystem and wildlife habitat.”
Brown says 90% less ag land would be required but farmers would still be needed as much as ever.
