Eating Meat Cause Deforestation Problems. Global agribusiness has for thirty years turned to tropical rainforests – not for his or her timber except for the land which will be used to graze cattle or grow palm oil and soya. several hectares of trees are felled to supply burgers for the US and additional recently animal feed for farms for Europe, China and Japan.

In its latest food report what is Feeding Our Food? Friends of the planet estimates that around 6m hectares of forest land a year – a region cherish Latvia or twice the dimensions of Belgium – and an identical acreage of peat and wetlands elsewhere, is converted to farmland a year. Of that, it says, most goes to livestock or to grow the crops to feed the cattle.

As soya becomes the world's major crop for chicken feed, therefore the trade is driving cattle ranching deeper into the forests.

So let’s go vegetarian, be vegan and save our forest!
