The societal and dietary importance of meat was highlighted at a conference of the Animal Task Force in Brussels Wednesday, April 12th, hosted by the University Foundation. A coalition of scientists and academics challenged moves to scale down meat production, as part of the green transition, and addressed the climate change-related arguments put forward against the industry.
The gathering was a follow-up to the 2022 Dublin Declaration, a document signed by 921 experts, which argued in favour of meat as an essential part of a balanced diet and a net positive for the environment .
