I prefer plant-based foods:
I care about my well-being!
Nearly 90% of deforestation, especially in tropical and subtropical areas, rich in biodiversity, is caused by our consumption.
In Mexico, for example, intensive avocado cultivation is responsible not only for deforestation, but also for a huge exploitation of water resources and a strong pollution caused by the chemicals used in the plantations.
Every year, 450,000 liters of insecticides, 900,000 tons of fungicides and 30,000 tons of fertilizers are used for avocado production.
