Connecting Climate Change Mitigation to Global Land Regeneration, Doubling Worldwide Livestock, and Reduction of Early Deaths from Noncommunicable Diseases

This article explores the link between early deaths from diet-related noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), low animal food intake, regenerative/organic agriculture, global food security, and climate change mitigation. Analysis of Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data revealed a surprising inverse correlation between low animal food consumption and high NCD rates in developing countries. The study critiques the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC) definitions of sustainable land management and finds that doubling global livestock combined with worldwide regenerative/organic agriculture could significantly mitigate climate change and enhance food security by sequestering CO2 in soil and reversing land degradation.
