This means that food production needs to be\nadapted, so that we use the resources of the planet in a way where regeneration\ncan occur, and does not lead to greater strain on ecosystems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We gain this holistic perspective from the research carried out in the\nframework of the Baltic Sea projects, BERAS and BERAS Implementation. These\nprojects explored organic circular farming or Ecological Regenerative\nAgriculture (ERA). Ecological Regenerative Agriculture is based on local and\nrenewable resources. This means, among other things, that the number of animals\nis in balance to the farm's supply of feeds and that the animals produce of\nmanure does not cause excess nutrient leakage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The BERAS projects also studied what food we could have on the plate, if\nfood production were to be conducted according to the criteria for ERA, and\nwhether the resources were distributed more evenly across the world population.\nIf you calculate the ratio of the Earth's cultivated area to the Earth's\npopulation, we have about 2000 m<sup>2<\/sup> available per person. If we exceed\nthis, we use resources at the expense of people in other countries. In Sweden,\nwe use on average nearly 4000 m<sup>2<\/sup> of land for food consumption today.\nThe results of the BERAS projects have shown that we can live well on 2000 m<sup>2<\/sup>\nand on an organic regenerative cultivation system in the Swedish cultivation\nclimate, but it would require approximately 80% reduction in meat consumption,\ncompared to the current average.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/beras_wp2_environmental_impacts.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Final report from BERAS Work Package 2 \u2013 Environmental impacts of eco-local food systems (opens in a new tab)\">Final report from BERAS Work Package 2 \u2013 Environmental impacts of eco-local food systems<\/a><\/li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/Farming-for-the-future-english.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">Farming for the future, with a focus on the Baltic Sea region (Artur Granstedt)<\/a><\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dietary Guidelines from Swedish National Food Agency Diet for a Green planet's guidelines for healthy eating habits are based on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":7250,"parent":7262,"menu_order":10,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"sidmall":[],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6509"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6509"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6509\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7223,"href":"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/6509\/revisions\/7223"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/7262"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7250"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6509"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"sidmall","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dietforagreenplanet.se\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/sidmall?post=6509"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
