The German chain "Lidl" (Lidl) intends to significantly reduce products of animal origin in its assortment. This was announced earlier this week by Christoph Graf, head of the company's supply chain for the German market, Spiegel reported.
According to Graff, this decision is "no alternative" because "we don't have a second planet". It is important to behave in a way that takes into account the limitations of the planet, so that its resources are sufficient for 10 billion people. This could be achieved only if the share of meat in consumption decreases, he points out.
