Many claim a plant-based diet saves the planet, but the facts tell a different story. Fossil fuels remain the largest driver of emissions, while monocrop agriculture depletes soil and harms ecosystems.

Learn what the science says about soil, methane, fossil fuels, and who profits most from the plant-based narrative.
