More info in this overview thread: all of the evidence underpinning the "#DublinDeclaration of Scientists on the Societal Role of Livestock" can be accessed through Open Access, as well as the Declaration itself: twitter.com/i/web/status/1…
"‘Eco-modernists’ fail to appreciate the societal importance of livestock - The #DublinDeclaration reminds us human civilisation has been built on livestock for more than 5,000 years", says @JoannaBlythman

"Almost 1,000 academics from leading universities across the world have signed an initiative which argues that livestock farming is too important to 'become the victim of zealotry'" #DublinDeclaration

“When I am asked by a concerned citizen about those ‘wretched’ #cows and whatever else, I say, 'well hold on, before you criticise my cows [..]: we are the custodians of the nation’s #carbon. How much carbon do you manage?' And there is a silence" theirishtimesnewstoday.com/what-can-we-le…
“if we were to convert the whole farm into multispecies swards [we] could be net zero today without adjusting stocking density [but while] cattle &sheep production can be beyond carbon neutral, current policy frameworks in Europe only measure what farms emit, not what they store" Image
"measurements of tonnes of carbon per hectare on Dowth show that hedges have 50% greater carbon density than woodlands [..] the hedgerows on Dowth are sequestering roughly 665 tonnes a year [..] But at the moment, Irish hedge rows are not in the national inventory"

This Special Issue of Animal Frontiers was written by a stellar interdisciplinary consortium of experts, to summarize the evidence on the societal impact of #meat. We hope that it may serve as a reference for future discussions on this vital topic.

🧵1/n
academic.oup.com/af/issue/13/2
As stated in our editorial (with co-guest editor @ederer_peer) "our request of the authors was not to reflect on the most granular levels of current scientific argumentation [but] to derive what can be robustly learned & has most societal significance"
2/n academic.oup.com/af/article/13/… Image
The publication is a formalized scientific follow-up of the International Summit on the Societal Role of Meat, hosted by @teagasc in 2022, featuring various authors of the Special Issue. The Dublin presentations can be viewed here: teagasc.ie/food/research-…

Is there something like "too little" 🥩 for health?

"The role of meat in the human diet: evolutionary aspects and nutritional value"
🧵1/n
academic.oup.com/af/article/13/…
Aspects of human anatomy, digestion, & metabolism diverged from other primates, indicating evolutionary reliance on, & compatibility with, substantial meat intake. Implications of a disconnect from evolutionary dietary patterns may contribute to today’s burden of disease.

2/n
Meat supplies high-quality protein & various nutrients, some of which are not always easily obtained with meat-free diets & are often already suboptimal or deficient in global populations.

Is there something like "too much" 🥩 for health?

"Non-communicable disease risk associated with red and processed meat consumption—magnitude, certainty, and contextuality of risk?"
🧵1/n
academic.oup.com/af/article/13/…
Mean global intakes per person of red and processed meats are 51 & 17 g/day respectively. Consumption is lowest in South Asia (7 & 3 g/d), and highest in Central Europe/Asia (114 & 54 g/d).

2/n
While some researchers claim that red & processed meat consumption is intrinsically harmful, the evidence does not support this being the case where intakes are below 75 & 20 g/d, respectively.

According to the @GOALSciences model (check out the tool!) "rabbit meat makes up 0.22% of total meat production".

🧵with quotes from "The Open Conspiracy", written in 1931 by HG Wells.
Looks like the Club of Rome and WEF are just copycats, recycling old ideas.
A solid dose of technocracy: centralized control over populations and natural resources.
You'll own nothing and be happy 🤷‍♂️
