The document discusses the negative environmental impacts of animal agriculture, including its contribution to global warming, use of land and water resources, and deforestation. It notes that raising animals for food accounts for 30% of global land use and is a leading cause of global warming.

The document questions how Christians can claim stewardship over God's creation while engaging in behavior detrimental to the environment and world hunger.
