The global food system is a significant driver of climate change. Animal agriculture contributes a large portion of greenhouse gas emissions like carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O). A food system transformation that reduces reliance on animal agriculture will cut emissions and free up land that can be used for carbon sequestration…
Agriculture is the biggest driver of deforestation and biodiversity loss. Most agricultural land is used to produce animal-based products, so what we eat (plant-based or animal-based products) has a bigger impact on land use than where and how it is produced…
Forests are vital for global biodiversity and play a crucial role in climate-change mitigation because they act as a huge carbon sink. Agriculture, particularly driven by the increasing production and consumption of animal-based products, is the main cause of global deforestation…
