Transforming what we eat is one of the fastest and most effective ways to reduce emissions and protect ecosystems. Animal agriculture is responsible for nearly 60% of food-related greenhouse gas emissions globally, occupying 80% of farmland while providing less than 20% of calories. Plant-based foods, in contrast, deliver most of the world’s nutrition with a fraction of the environmental cost.

In November, we held another community assembly as part of the Save Our Shores (SOS) Project. It follows community assemblies we held in various other locations around the Maltese Islands, such as: Manoel Island, Valletta and Floriana, Gozo, and Marsascala. The aim of these assemblies is to bring residents together to discuss issues of common concern – especially in relation to the sea.

When we arrived in Copenhagen this October, we stepped into a moment of history in the making. Denmark – the country that still holds the world’s highest meat production per capita – has become the first nation to adopt a Plant-Based Food Action Plan, and is now pushing for a similar transition at EU level during its presidency. For a country so deeply rooted in livestock farming, this shift is transformative. And we went there to understand what it really means.
