Industrialized populations

Louisa Nicola discussed the impact of industrialized populations on the environment, particularly focusing on industrialized food production practices such as monocropping. She highlighted that monocropping, which involves the cultivation of single crop species over vast areas, is detrimental as it involves heavy use of pesticides and herbicides that destroy soil health and ecosystems. Furthermore, the production of plant-based burgers in industrial factories also contributes significantly to carbon emissions. This challenges the notion that plant-based options are automatically better for the environment 1 .
