Why is phasing out livestock production important? A case study:
There are currently 1.4-1.5bn domestic sheep on the planet (FAOSTAT 2020). Most are grazed in ecosystems to which they're non-native, wreaking havoc on vegetation regeneration, soil stability and biodiversity.
🧵 Many, though, are still grazed in the region in which they were first domesticated, and this juxtaposition arguably provides an even starker example of why animal agriculture is fundamentally incompatible with ecological sustainability.
