Tool reveals how your dinner affects risk of 30,875 species land-dwelling animals going extinct

University of Cambridge researchers have developed a new way to measure the impact of our food production on other species' survival around the world.

Analysis finds food production choices directly impact extinction risk for thousands of animal species

London, UK (SPX) Oct 31, 2025 University of Cambridge researchers have developed a new way to measure the impact of global food production on the survival of other species. Their analysis shows that between 700 and 1,100 vertebrate species face extinction in the next 100 years without changes in global land-use for agriculture. This estimate likely understates the scale of impact, as it does not account for future population

New Tool Shows How Your Dinner Choices Impact the Extinction Risk of Over

A groundbreaking study from the University of Cambridge has unveiled a novel methodology for quantifying the impact of global food production on biodiversity, particularly the extinction risks faced by vertebrate species worldwide. The research introduces a sophisticated approach that integrates land use productivity with species extinction probabilities, enabling an unprecedented precision in assessing how various […]
