Veganismo y soberanía alimentaria: una alternativa al sistema de consumo y producción actual de carne

Abstract

World meat consumption has increased from 71 million tonnes in 1961 to 317 million tonnes in 2014, posing a risk to the ecosystem. The impact of livestock farming is an increase in greenhouse gases and a degradation of biodiversity. Strategies are currently in place to mitigate these negative effects, but they are not sufficient as they do not eliminate the problem. This impact added to the current economic system based on globalisation and free trade accentuates and perpetuates environmental problems. This research proposes an alternative to the current system based on food sovereignty and veganism.
