I added some quick polls to this post. I’d love to get some feedback to get a sense of whether we’re on the right track and foster discussion. I think the polls also highlight some of the key issues and implications.
State a probability for the underlying policy question:
What’s the probability that investing in improving and promoting plant-based ~meat is the most effective farmed animal welfare intervention (at current margins)?
Rate your agreement over the plausibility of existing methods:
Survey and hypothetical choice-experiments are useful for helping us understand whether plant-based meat substitutes for animal products
Demand estimation from supermarket data is useful for helping us understand whether plant-based meat substitutes for animal products
Comparing this to another prominent approach (rate your agreement)
Plant-based meat is more promising than cell-cultured meat for animal welfare
