The animal agriculture industry’s obstruction of campaigns promoting individual climate action

March 12, 2025

Through intentional campaigning, the meat and dairy industry pushes against one of the only effective actions an individual can take to curb climate change: diet. CSSN Scholar Loredana Loy & CSSN Director Jennifer Jacquet “document civil society efforts to advocate dietary shifts as a climate change mitigation strategy, including the Greenhouse Crisis Foundation, Diet for a New America, Beyond Beef, and Meatless Monday, and the industry’s opposition to these campaigns.” See their linked article in Climate Policy.
