Eat more plants, transportation is <10% of the food supply chain. For beef it's <0.5%. https://ourworldindata.org/food-choice-vs-eating-local
Nothing wrong with in season / local produce, but the bigger impact (by orders of magnitude) is switching off meat
buying plants or meat, local or transported doesn't have an impact: it's all in the production.
And the production of meat is ~5-10x worse than almost all plant food sources.
if that's true (i'm dubious) then you should be finding an effective way to curb production.
Which brings us back to reducing consumption of meat
buying beans is not an effective way to reduce meat production
Got suggestions for effective ways (that are affordable and available today) of reducing meat production?
do you own bolt cutters?
