U.S. animal rights activist Lisa Franzetta with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), hands out vegetarian food to the a delegate of the Earth Summit in Johannesburg while dressed in an outfit made to look like lettuce August 30, 2002. Increasing food production to feed a growing world population need not hurt biodiversity, and can actually help preserve threatened ecosystems. That was the message from a leading scientist at the World Summit on Sustainable Development, which is trying to hammer out ways to help enrich poor nations without fouling the planet further.
