Michael Mendez, a professor of urban planning and public policy at the School of Social Ecology, University of California Irvine, said there is a lot of room to decarbonize agriculture by improving its efficiency, but the cultural sensitivity arises around meat: “But I think it’s actually good that we’re having the conversation about that,” he continued, “and this is again an area for discussion, not just discussion, but how do we understand the psychology of diet. I think that’s really important. I think it’s a research rooted question that I think progress could be made on.
