How does consuming meat result in a negative effect on the environment? The most important impact of meat production is the use of water and land. Two thousand and five hundred gallons of water are needed to produce one pound of beef. That is 125 times more than the 20 gallons needed to produce one pound of wheat. We can make more efficient use of the land and water by producing more crops instead of animals. One acre of farmland used for raising livestock can produce 250 pounds of beef, but if used for crops, it can produce 40,000 pounds of potatoes, 30,000 pounds of carrots, and 50,000 pounds of tomatoes.
Additionally, farm animals add to the problem of global warming. They release methane by expelling gas from their bodies. Methane gas is the second most common greenhouse gas after carbon dioxide. 25% of all methane released into the air comes from farm animals.
