European Study Recommends Vegetarian Diet to Solve Global Food Crisis

A vegetarian diet can improve the resilience of the diet, and accreditation in the European Union (EU) and the United Kingdom(UK) will be sufficient to offset almost all production losses in Russia and Ukraine.

A study conducted by a team of Dutch researchers from Leiden University said that a vegetarian diet contributes to solving the global food crisis.

Paul Behrens, researcher and co-author from Leiden University, said that animals eat crops that we can eat ourselves."

The study confirmed that the rapid shift to plant-based diets contributes to recovery from crises while reducing water use, reducing emissions, improving health, and providing more natural areas.

Scientists studied the effects of switching to the EAT-Lancet Planetary Diet in countries in the European Union and the United Kingdom, where switching to a plant-based diet would reduce nutritional needs by about the same amount as food produced in Ukraine and Russia.
