IPCC report encourages a move to plant-based diets, so how sustainable is Australian meat?

Talk has once again turned to whether we need to change our diets to help the planet.

The message is, essentially: Yes, it would help.

Australian steak has a smaller carbon footprint
than meat farmed in many international markets.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) issued its latest Special Report on Climate Change and Land this week. 

It encourages people around the world to boost their intake of plant-based foods and to switch to more sustainably produced meat. 

Australian healthy eating guides already recommend a well-balanced diet where meat is the support act, not the main event. 

This report backs that thinking.
