Answer:

environmental problems

Explanation:

The passage includes information about risks that eating meat can pose for the health. It also makes note of the concerns surround farming practices.

The mention of environmental problems right after that of farming practices confirms that there is a possibility that vegetarianism can help alleviate environmental problems.
