[PG13] Food consumption – animal based protein

Key message
Bad

Slovenians are big meat lovers. Data for 2018 show that we eat much more meat (92.6 kg) than the European average (69.3 kg). Meat self-sufficiency is 80%, so meat must be imported; especially the pig meat we eat the most.

On a global scale, livestock farming is the second largest source of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The IPCC therefore calls for a change in not only agricultural practices but also our eating habits.
