The global Plant Based Treaty is a push to align the food system to carbon reduction efforts and implement best practices in plant-based food policy at the local level.

It calls for the elimination of animal products as part of a dietary change designed to lower methane emissions from the agricultural industry.

The Utah Farm Bureau says such proposals overlooks the vulnerability of global populations in need of sustained sources of protein.

The emissions reductions were the largest decrease of any economic sector, even while production is growing to meet the needs of the nation and the world,” it read. The organization added this: “Is there still room for progress? Absolutely. But not all proposed improvements’ are actually good ideas. This includes many of the radical proposals put forward from groups that seem more concerned on limiting choices.”.
