What, exactly, is the environmental cost of an animal product-based diet?
There are probably few people, if any, better qualified to answer this question than David Pimentel, a celebrated professor of ecology and agricultural science at Cornell University, Ithaca, New York.
Professor Pimentel's ecological credentials are virtually unmatched. His research spans the fields of basic population ecology, ecological and economic aspects of pest control, biological control, biotechnology, sustainable agriculture, land and water conservation, natural resouce management, and Read more

The number of ocean "dead zones" has grown from 150 in 2004 to about 200 today, said Nick Nuttall, a UNEP spokesperson.
"These are becoming more common in developing countries," Nuttall told IPS from Nairobi, Kenya.
