This report makes it clear: our current food system—especially livestock production—is incompatible with long-term resilience.
If safety and resilience is the goal, protein diversification must be part of the the national security conversation, both in the UK and around the world.

In reality, people won't stop eating meat. As Bruce Friedrich recently said:
"A decline has never happened in all of human history...everywhere in the world where incomes rise, meat consumption rises."
