Good Luck.
A new study says beef production is very to the environment. It damages the environment around ten more than the production of pork, lamb, chicken or other farm . Scientists said cows need 28 times more land and 11 times more than pigs, sheep or chickens. They also produce a lot of gas after they eat. Compared to food like , wheat, and rice, beef production needs 160 times more land and produces 11 times more greenhouse . The scientists said farming (of and crops) is a major of global warming. It causes 15 per cent of all greenhouse gases. About of this is from livestock.

One scientist said we could all reduce our footprint by eating less beef. Professor Mark Sutton from the Centre for Ecology and Hydrology in the UK said cutting down on the of beef we eat is for the than using the car less. He also said that if we ate beef, we could use the wheat that give to cows to feed people. He said this sounds simple, but many governments would not try to do it. Professor Sutton said: "Governments should consider these carefully if they want to improve production." He added: "The message for the consumer is even stronger. Avoiding excessive meat consumption, beef, is good for the environment."
