Environmental impacts of increased protein consumption

Explanation:

Protein is a major macronutrient that helps in body building and present more in animal sources. Hence increase in population raises the demand for more protein based foods. So, there is a huge increase in animal farming.  

Animal farming directly impacts the environment as it is one of the major causes of global warming and environmental pollution.

Grazing is a common feeding method for farming animals and this reduces the greenery of vast lands which can store more carbon. Thereby these animals affect the carbon footprint.

Moreover, animal waste effluents pollute the surrounding natural land and water sources with contaminants including harmful pathogens.
