The high demand for crops like soy, palm oil, cocoa and coffee in turn drives deforestation to clear land where they can be grown https://perma.cc/2GEP-APB9

In fact, almost 80% of the world’s soybean crop is fed to livestock, especially for beef, chicken, egg and dairy production (milk, cheeses, butter, yogurt, etc) https://perma.cc/UMM2-C55B

The most recent data indicates that the EU is responsible for at least 10% of forest destruction worldwide https://perma.cc/FK9M-SDRE

How deforestation is pushing the Amazon to a climate tipping point https://perma.cc/27LW-DR9Z

Amazon deforestation is particularly dangerous for the world’s climate. This is because it’s the planet’s largest land-based carbon store, which helps in the fight against climate change. Fires not only destroy the trees that absorb carbon, they also release emissions themselves https://perma.cc/9AL4-XQU6

How UK retailers’ commitments to tackling soy-driven deforestation compare https://perma.cc/B8AL-65MX

Much of this deforestation is unnecessary. There are more than 25 million hectares, an area larger than the size of the UK, of degraded or abandoned land that could be used to produce soy, without the need for any more clearance of native vegetation https://perma.cc/DD2K-MCW6
