New insights from the public on eating meat
The LEAP programme has published insights for policymakers on how people feel about meat, barriers and motivations to change
Over the last four years, a series of live activities have supported the public to reduce meat in their diets, to benefit the environment and health.
Run by the Livestock, Environment and People (LEAP) programme at the University of Oxford, the activites included a touring exhibition, which visited six locations around the UK over summer 2021 and engaged with over 150,000 people. The exhibition, called 'Meat Your Persona' talked with the public about meat eating, gathering valuable insights on public attitudes, motivations, and opportunities for public health policies and interventions.
Climate Change and Nature: Sustain has taken a keen interest in the rapidly accumulating evidence about the effect of food and farming on climate change and nature, as scientific evidence emerges that our food system is a very significant contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity loss.
