For the first time ever, a committee that advises the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) recommended eating greater amounts of vegetables, legumes, and grains because a plant-based diet has less of an environmental impact than one heavy in meat consumption.
Every five years the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC) convenes to make recommendations on food policy to the USDA and the Department of Health and Human Services. Defying Congress and intense industry pressure, the committee made strong connections between American dietary choices and the environmental sustainability of food production.
