Italy is experiencing one of the hottest summers on record, and hundreds of thousands of Parmigiano Reggiano wheels can’t handle the heat.

      so what you’re saying is that it’s the population density that’s unsustainable? not the milk itself?

      also do you have a link that it’s unsustainable? because i’m not so sure about that. the world can currently produce about 2-3x the amount of food that we actually need, i don’t see that declining by more than 60% any time soon.

          this is depending on poore-nemecek 2018, a paper with serious methodological flaws.

          Milk has higher environmental impact than plant based milk ≠ milk is unsustainable.

          Milk is in fact a very nutritious aliment and many parts of the world depend on it as base for nutrition.

              Is milk killing the planet? That’s news to me.

              The fact that there are more sustainable alternatives to milk is not evidence that milk is unsustainable.

                  You could argue vegetable milk is also contributing to killing the planet. Doing that is clearly pointless.

                  Is the pollution produced by the production of milk significant, in such a way that reducing it would lead to measurable changes?
