Plant based diets, specially in Europe, and very important for food security. Europe is small and very densily populated, which means there's not a lot more places where we can farm. If we eat more plants instead of more meat, we reduce the amount of space needed. It also requires less energy, and farming still uses a lot of fossile fuels, which in Europe come from abroad. On top of that, population is growing, in great part due to immigration, so this problem will only grow.

So yeah, more plant based meals mean more food security and energy security for Europe.
