A Masters of Beef Advocacy program teaches ‘scientific sounding’ arguments on cattle’s sustainability in an all-out public relations war
The world can't afford the rise in global beef consumption that experts predict - while wealthier nations, whose residents have the most emissions-intensive diets, could make rapid climate gains by choosing to eat less.
This narrative is one that industry-aligned interests badly want to extinguish. Through blog posts, videos, educational assets, op-eds, TV ads, social media campaigns, trained influencers and other channels - many described here for the first time - the industry is trying to convince us all of what the science definitely doesn't show: that dietary change has no role in climate strategy.

- Under their skin: A report series on the injustices of leather production — Collective Fashion Justicewww.collectivefashionjustice.org Under their skin — Collective Fashion Justice
A report series on the impact of leather production. The future of fashion is sustainable and ethical; it's time to move beyond animal-derived leather.
Leather has been seen as an unshakeable and prominent aspect of the fashion industry for millennia. The oldest intact leather shoe is over 5,500 years old, pre-dating the Pyramids of Giza by 1,000 years. But it's time for us to move forward.
Today, over 1.4 billion cattle have been bred and stand on once biodiverse land until they are slaughtered. Leather is now largely tanned with harsh carcinogenic chemicals, and destructive leather supply chains harmfully implicate workers, destroy critical habitat and pollute waterways with toxic chemicals.
Read our report series to understand these intertwined harms, and how we can move beyond them. When we work together, we have the power to transform fashion – and we have a responsibility to use this power for good.

- What does good content look like?
I was just wondering what you all thing content for a vegan lemmy should really look like. Vegan Home Cooks is easy because its scoped to pictures. I wonder vegan "news" articles kind of fall on the neoliberal/welfarist side and there isn't that much written about animal rights action in way that is easy to share publicly considering they're considered domestic violent terrorists by the US government.
So aside to links to things that get people in trouble and neoliberal news what else can we post here to make this place interesting?
- Plant-Based Capitalism Lists
As I understand these lists may be outdated, but they are an excellent resource that can be referred to in order to better understand the reach of animal agriculture companies into "vegan" foods.
