This dissertation was written as part of the MSc in Energy Law, Business, Regulation
and Policy at the International Hellenic University, focusing on environmental issues
and mostly on climate change and agricultural sector.
The objective of this dissertation is to provide essential information about the
harmful consequences of the current food production system, especially livestock
sector and its contribution to climate change. The analysis will focus on the
detrimental effects of massive livestock production and mistreatment of the animals
on the environment and the overall future results if a positive change, towards crueltyfree policies, is adopted, based on recent data and reports provided by the scientific
community. The main contribution of this dissertation is to examine the prospect of an
agricultural policy with substantial reduction of animal use in the agricultural sector, in
order to achieve both, the humane treatment of animals and the increase of
alternative plant-based crops in the overall food production. At the end of this
dissertation, we can deduce if this approach could result in the ultimate goal to save
the environment and tackle climate change.
