According to a study by Oatly. In terms of meat products, the figure is also similar: 64% say they do not have a clear opinion about it because of lack of information. However, that the food consumed has a low impact on climate change is important for more than 3 out of 4 Spaniards
According to a study carried out by Oatly throughout the country, the great predisposition to adopt more sustainable living habits shown by the Spaniards is in total contrast to the existing knowledge of how meat and dairy products directly affect climate change. Only 34% of the population claims to be informed of how meat consumption produces greenhouse gases, and this percentage is even lower when it comes to the effect of dairy products.
Recycling waste, reducing the consumption of single-use plastics or replacing traditional energy sources by renewable energies are habits that have already been mainly calfed among the population, while there is still a great lack of knowledge about a factor that impacts, and much, on the health of the planet: food production and consumption is already responsible for 25 per cent of climate change gas emissions. “Specialists agree that it is necessary to increase the consumption of plant-based foods and reduce the consumption of those of animal origin. However, is still a fairly new premise in some countries, and something about what needs to be properly reported in Spain in order to provide the consumer with more sustainable daily decision-making.” Anna Ahnberg, sustainability specialist at Oatly, the Swedish vegetable beverage company.
It's already a fact that industry produces 25% of the gases responsible for climate change. According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, it is estimated that 14.5 per cent of these emissions come specifically from the meat and dairy industry. However, the recent study conducted by Oatly reveals that 76% of Spaniards consider it important that the food they consume has a low impact on the climate, although only 2 out of 10 would be absolutely willing to change their habits to avoid it. In contrast, an overwhelming 79.5% claim to be willing to try. “If the high degree of involvement in Spain with sustainability also includes habits related to food consumption, this would undoubtedly be a very good first step towards the standardization and extension of plant-based diets” says Ahnberg of Oatly.
Climate change is an absolute truth for Spaniards: 97% consider it a reality, and 92% blame the human being for his existence, according to an investigation by the Elcano Royal Institute. The commitment shown to sustainable living habits is 80 per cent, and that same percentage considers that the government is not doing enough to curb or prevent it.. In this regard, the lack of information in this regard can be one of the great reasons: according to Oatly's study, 60% claim to be little or very little informed about the subject.
Betting for real change
Plant-based alternatives to milk and its derivatives are an option to take into account in order to reduce the impact of food we consume on climate change. Reducing meat and dairy consumption is not only good for the planet, but also for our health: “Climate change is one of the most important challenges facing the world, and it is a matter of deep concern to us. We are doing everything we can to facilitate the transition to the production and consumption of more vegetable products by offering oat-based options at the dairy counter. Thanks to the research we have managed to develop products with unique properties, aimed at better health, and with a much less impact on the environment than traditional dairy” concludes Ahnberg.
