    Good to see positive research on this subject, was soil health included in the research? I’d hope farming industry for vegan industry isn’t doing the same it’s doing for meat industry; which is to run the same crop year after year, ruining whatever growth potential that plot of soil had longterm.

      There isn’t “meat industry” farming or “vegan industry” farming. The primary dichotomies in farming are industrial vs small scale, organic vs conventional, and local vs global. If you don’t like monocultural industrial farming, then support the other types of farmers.

        I do support non-monoculture farming. Problem is as a consumer there isn’t an easy way to know how it was farmed. Imo sustainable farming should be legislated by government.
