"In his interview with Food Navigator, Lopez went on to say that the beef sector was good for nature. He describes the production as zero waste, says pastures act as great carbon sinks, soil is able to be fertilised and fires are prevented.
What do environmentalists have to say?
Red meat has been linked to the destruction of the environment in several different ways.
The industrial meat system requires a huge amount of land to sustain itself, which in turn causes land clearing and deforestation. But even with land aside, Greenpeace lays out seven reasons as to why eating meat is so bad for the planet. It is a direct cause of climate change, is responsible for human rights abuse and land-grabbing and kills wildlife in the process.
We spoke to Juliet Gellatley, founder of British veganism charity Viva!, to find out her take on becoming a beefatarian.
“This campaign is utterly delusional,” she begins. “It has been proven time and time again that red meat, such as beef, is linked to heart disease, diabetes, and cancer, due to its high level of saturated fats, cholesterol, and salt. The scientific evidence against red meat is backed by government bodies and leading agencies, such as the World Health Organisation.”
And that's not even mentioning Methane Output from Livestock. Hardly part of the Climate Change Agenda is it?
I have to declare that I'm a Vegetarian at this point, however. |

Yes but last nights steak was lovely.
Medium rare with pan fried potatoes, pepper sauce and asparagus on the side.  |

Omnivore here. There’s not much I won’t eat.
But I do tend to avoid buying beef because as regards the environment, it is massively inefficient to produce.
Am interested in the recent developments in insect based protein. Stuff I have tried was yummy and didn’t need insane amounts of water and grain to produce. |

I heard sometime ago they can actually prevent the Methane output by using a certain sea as feed, not sure how true that is.
Surely the links with bad health effects are down to poor quality meat and overall poor diet? Not Beef itself |

Beef and lamb should and generally is produced very environmentally friendly. Both utilise land that cant grow cereals and especially veg, they are an essential part of the soil eco system there manures feed the soil microorganisms which in turn feed the invertebrates/insects which feed the small mammals and birds,
It's a very complex system, take the animals out and it will fail. Beef production also uses huge amounts of by products of human food production which otherwise would have to be disposed of, most of the things we eat each day have byproducts and waste that are recycled through cattle.
Continuos arable production also tends to need more chemical inputs to sustain production whether that's fertilisers or pesticides

Methane is a by product of the digestion of vegetation, humans will produce more if we eat more of it and less meat, |
