Impossible
Impossible Foods’ Impact report, called Turn Back the Clock, shows that by removing the methane emissions from livestock and restoring the biomass lost to animal agriculture, we could achieve a net reduction in carbon emissions within 20 years, even if we did nothing to reduce carbon from other sources. Of course, this is a thought-experiment (the meat industry will not suddenly disappear) but it does show how big a factor animal farming is in tackling climate change. An Impossible Burger uses 96% less land, 87% less water, and generates 89% less CO2 emissions than a burger made from cows.
