We reduce ecological footprints in<br />
animal protein production<br />
The challenge<br />
• 40 kg of meat is consumed per capita each year by<br />
the world population on average.<br />
• This has consequences: Animal protein production is<br />
a major emitter of green house gases.<br />
• For example: for 1 kg of pork 3.2 kg CO 2 -equivalents<br />
are emitted.<br />
• Other side effects are:<br />
• regional eutrophication<br />
• acidification of soil<br />
The Ecological Footprint is the area on<br />
Earth, which is necessary to maintain the<br />
lifestyle and standard of living of a person<br />
(under continuation of current production<br />
conditions).<br />
This includes the areas which are necessary<br />
for the production of his clothing, food and<br />
energy demand, but also the areas needed<br />
to decompose his waste and to bind the<br />
carbon dioxide released by his activities<br />
