"Switching from meat to plant-based protein is one way to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions and consume less of the planet’s natural resources.
But while chicken and salmon are often considered better choices than red meat,
how do we calculate their true impacts?
In our new research, we set out to quantify the environmental footprint of
broiler (meat bird) chicken and farmed salmon production, considering
greenhouse gas emissions, nutrient pollution, land or sea disturbance, and
freshwater use.
With a more comprehensive understanding of the pressures on the environment
from these food production systems, we can confirm both are better than beef or
pork, and chicken is slightly better than salmon, but neither is as responsible
as plant-based foods."
