Food products such as tofu, and soy do more harm to the environment than meat, by destroying woods, and making headway for farmland, reveals a new research.
The research conducted by Cranfield University, England, and funded by World Wildlife Fund (WWF), has shown that a change from beef and lamb to veggie-substitutes like tofu affects the environment by adding to the requirement of agricultural land.
One of the study authors, Donal Murphy-Bokern, former farming and science coordinator, Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs said, “For some people, tofu and other meat substitutes symbolise environmental friendliness but they are not necessarily the badge of merit people claim.”
