Globally there’s big growth in meat alternatives, but are they climate friendly?

What we eat has a massive impact on global warming. Meat and
dairy are among the biggest drivers of the climate crisis -
creating more planet-warming emissions than all the cars in the
world. As we all try to reduce our carbon footprints, it’s not
surprising that the global market for meat alternatives that come
from soy or pea protein is growing at a huge rate. In fact it’s
estimated that by the end of the decade it will be worth nearly
20 times what it was in 2018. But are these meat substitutes as
good for the planet as we’d like to think? Presenters Graihagh
