NY Daily News shares: “We can feed more people with less land and fewer resources with a plant-based food system, which will lighten our ecological footprint, help restore degraded farmland and allow diverse natural ecosystems to recover. Plus, it presents powerful opportunities to build more just and equitable structures, instead of ones that abuse workers, animals and the earth.

Agricultural workers across our food system, including produce workers delivering fruits and vegetables to our dinner tables, currently work in unsafe conditions and are treated as disposable. If we replaced factory farming and disease-inducing animal-based food with diversified local farms and fresh plant-based food, we would increase resilience as well as create meaningful jobs and healthier citizens.

We could save billions of dollars in healthcare costs every year through a whole-foods plant-based diet, which strengthens our immune function and quality of life while preventing chronic diseases that plague our nation. What’s more, this would reduce our risk of succumbing to illnesses like COVID-19 and help ward off the next zoonotic pandemic."
