Frame work for reducing green house gas emissions:

1. peak livestock: policy makers need to acknowledge “peak livestock”-current numbers are at their highest level and will decline
2. ‘worst-first’ approach: set goals to gradually transition from livestock product begging with the animals that give the most emissions: beef, cow’s milk, and pig meat.
3. best available food approach: find replacement products against greenhouse gas emission goals, usage of land, and public health benefits.
