The Vegan Pagan: Climate Change and Food Equity

In an effort to limit the number of posts in this series, I'm glossing two related topics this month; the relationship between animal agriculture and climate change, and the relationship between animal agriculture and food equity. That said, it should be explicitly noted that I will not be discussing the impacts of animal agriculture on groundwater pollution, deforestation, wildlife habitat encroachment, ocean ecosystem depletion and the eradication of unique animal and plant species as a result of these factors. I am only addressing the singular problems of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions as they relate to animal agriculture, and animal agriculture as it relates to global food access. I invite the reader to investigate these other matters independently; some are covered in the linked research, and the rest are easily accessed through Internet scholarship searches like these: animal agriculture + groundwater pollution | animal agriculture + deforestation.
