Edinburgh Uni study finds smaller portion sizes are the main driver for this change across the UK rather than other behaviours like meat-free days.
The Edinburgh Uni study found smaller portion sizes are the main driver for this change across the UK, outpacing other behaviours like introducing meat-free days into your diet. Climate experts have said Scotland needs to see at least a further 20 per cent drop in consumption of both meat and dairy by 2030 to help meet green targets.
That is significantly more than the impact of other strategies like meat-free days or meat-free meals, researchers say. Experts from the uni’s Global Academy of Agriculture and Food Systems also found that men and people from lower socio-economic backgrounds, who typically consume more meat, were more likely to reduce their intake by choosing smaller portions.
