This study finds that simply substituting beans for beef in the United States (US) could result in reaching 46% to 74% of the necessary reductions in greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to meet the nation’s 2020 target. This switch could also provide environmental benefits by releasing 42% of land in the US used for crops.
