That's a particularly big call.
Most of our fruit and veg are transported huge distances, and I
don't see that necessarily changing if we were to eat more of
them. Locally grown food, regardless of meatiness of it, would
be a preferable approach. Industrial farming and transport of
vegetable & fruit products is definitely harmful.
Trying to set up a food production system in the absence of
animals is a pretty tricky proposition anyway.
What ever happened to your eco/agri thing anyway?
I think I've asked this before.
