Education in schools to reduce animal-based food consumption (curriculum/resources/programmes)

Educating children about lower-animal-food diets can help reduce the environmental burden of food production, as animal-based foods are associated with significantly higher greenhouse gas emissions and land use compared to plant-based alternatives. For example, shifting to diets that exclude animal products could reduce food-related greenhouse gas emissions by up to 49% and decrease land use by billions of metric tons, according to evidence from studies on dietary change and environmental impact.
