Cultured meat from the lab, plant-based burger patties or proteins from insects - all these alternatives share the same goal: to reduce the consumption of meat. But is meat consumption actually reducing in the individual countries of Europe? Here is an overview.
66% of Europeans surveyed say that they have reduced their meat consumption in order to fight climate change.
13% plan to do so in the future.
Looking at the EU, there is a slight increase in meat consumption. This is mainly due to the growing meat consumption in the EU-13 member states that have joined the EU since 2004.
