A study from the Technical University of Denmark reveals that to maintain a sustainable diet, consumption of chicken or pork should be limited to 255g per week, approximately two chicken breasts or one pork chop. Red meat is completely off-limits due to its environmental impact. Researchers evaluated the ecological effects of various diets and found that even moderate red meat consumption surpasses planetary limits. The findings emphasize the need to eat less meat for health and environmental benefits while suggesting that some diets can still be sustainable with small amounts of poultry or pork.
Our calculations show that even moderate amounts of red meat in one's diet are incompatible with what the planet can regenerate of resources based on the environmental factors we looked at in the study.
Most people now realize that we should eat less meat for both environmental and health reasons. But it's hard to relate to how much 'less' is and whether it really makes a difference in the big picture.
Based on the planetary boundaries, we have calculated a concrete figure-255 grams of poultry or pork per week-which you can actually visualize and consider when planning meals.
There are many other diets-including ones with meat-that are both healthy and sustainable.
