When we are thinking of food waste in terms of ensuring we use the Earth’s resources in a sustainable way, we might also want to consider how we use the limited amount of land we all share. Globally 77%of farm land is used to raise animals for meat and dairy products, yet this supplies only 18% of the world’s (human population) calories and 37% of their protein.
Here in the UK more than half our land is used to rear livestock for meat and dairy products.
