- Water conservation: Producing 1 kg of beef can use over 15,000 liters of water, while vegetables use far less.
- Reduced deforestation: Less demand for grazing land and animal feed helps preserve forests and biodiversity.
- Less pollution: Animal farming produces large amounts of waste that can contaminate soil and water.
