* Making food more [[plant-based]] {{x|not necessarily 100% vegan, but reducing animal consumption by more than half}}.
* Making food more [[plant-based]]
** Reducing ''animal consumption'' to its [[maximum sustainable animal consumption|sustainable limit]]
* [[food waste|Reducing food waste in various ways]]

* [[Regenerative farming]] of crops, as long as it doesn't reduce [[crop yields]].
* Greener ways to grow crops - such as [[regenerative agriculture]] - as long as [[crop yields]] are ''not'' reduced.
