The sami do sell the meat to non-sami. Today and traditionally. Their traditional way of living involves trading reindeer meat and hide for grain and tools from the coastal farmers. And they are not the only herding culture who did it. You can take a look at the modern day maasai who trade beef for corn meal. Meat only is not that good of a diet so you have to trade if meat and hide is all you produce.
All meat consumption leads to the same kind of pollution, soil destruction and inefficient land use.
This is absolutely not true. There is a vast difference between a US factory farm feeding cows nothing but corn and soy, and a Sami reindeer herder who is herding reindeer in the frozen tundra the same way his family has for thousands of years. Some land can’t be used for anything else than grazing, and while overgrazing is a thing, it’s not a universal constant. However the majority of meat on this earth is not sustainably farmed. That is absolutely true. But you can’t say no meat is sustainable.
While meat can be sustainably produced in certain regions. That isn’t true in the Netherlands. They are absolutely filled to the brim with livestock with huge issues with water pollution and algal blooms as a result. Good on them for trying to reduce their meat consumption.
The currency is called renminbi, meaning “the peoples currency”. However in Chinese you don’t say 12 renminbi, you say 12 yuan. So the counting word, or unit, is yuan. Yuan is also used to count other currencies in Chinese.
If you are confused you can think of the British currency. Its name is sterling but you don’t say “I have 5 sterlings”. You have to say 5 pounds or 5 pence or similar counting words.
So how does this work in English? No idea. I don’t even know if there is an official or correct way. However I have noticed that in contexts that talk a lot about China, like foreigners living in China or professional analysts who specialize in china, they tend to use renminbi. And in contexts where the reader is not expected to know much about China they use yuan. It’s almost like using the term renminbi is like a symbol saying “hey look I know a lot about China”. Which I think is a bit stupid.
Yes the Netherlands should cut way down. Other countries like Mongolia where the land is not suited for anything else, should be allowed to continue.
