Demand must shift toward lower-emission food and practices
In Short
Shifts in eating habits aimed at reducing emissions have recently begun to gain traction.
A Few Details
Efforts to lower emissions in the food industry should include:
-Choosing plant-based meat substitutes, as meat production generates significantly more greenhouse gases (GHG) per calorie than vegetables.
-Reducing food waste, as unsold food that decomposes produces methane.
-Considering the emissions associated with the transport of exotic foods and the agricultural practices of producers when making food choices.
-Implementing methane capture in waste management processes.
