Plant-Based Food Factories Safer Than Meat

Supporters of plant-based foods point out that plant-based food supply chains offer many advantages over those of animal protein because they are shorter, faster, more predictable, more stable, and can be quickly halted or ramped up depending on demand. It takes years to grow a cow but not to build a factory — which takes up far less land than livestock and is more environmentally-friendly — all for the same amount of protein.
