16 Jul 2020 --- There is a fundamental and often-overlooked connection between pandemics such as the current COVID-19 crisis and our animal-based food system, says a major new report published today. The Food & Pandemics Report, produced by ProVeg International, identifies the eating and farming of animals as the single most risky human behavior concerning pandemics and calls for urgent changes to the global food system to prevent future outbreaks. The report has drawn support from inside the UN Environment Programme (UNEP).
