Deforestation Facts: Over 43 million hectares were lost in these deforestation fronts between 2004 and 2017, an area roughly the size of Morocco. The Amazon, the planet’s largest rain forest, lost approximately 17% of its forest cover in the last half century due to human activity.

The high demand for crops like soy, palm oil, cocoa and coffee in turn drives deforestation to clear land where they can be grown.
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).

In 2020, the average European consumed 237 eggs, 117 kg of various dairy products, 58 kg of pork, poultry, beef and other meat, and 2 kg of farmed fish. In some cases, such as for chicken and salmon, the amount of soy animal feed is almost equal to that of the food produced. 95 grams of soy are needed to produce 100 grams of farmed salmon, and 96 grams of soy for 100 grams of chicken breast.
