Il est quatre fois moins coûteux, en termes énergétiques, de consommer des agneaux élevés de l’autre côté du globe que de consommer des agneaux nés en Grande-Bretagne.

Cela est dû au fait que le transport ne compte que pour une part infime de l’énergie consommée par la production et la distribution de nourriture.
