climate change and meat industry
Alternative proteins—meat and seafood made from plants, fermentation, or cultivated from animal cells—use a fraction of the land and water required by conventional meat, generate fewer greenhouse gases (GHGs), and reduce the flow of pollutants into communities and ecosystems.
How does the meat industry contribute to climate change?
As the manure decomposes it releases emissions including methane, ammonia, and carbon dioxide which further contribute to climate change.
On top of all of this, livestock emit methane (burps) during digestion and further emissions are released during the processing and transportation of the animals.
How does climate change affect the food we eat?
Climate change puts at risk the food supplies of people in developing and developed nations alike.
Floods, droughts, more intense hurricanes, heatwaves and wildfires can drive down crop yields, destroy livestock, and interfere with the transport of food.
What is the biggest contributor to climate change?
Fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – are by far the largest contributor to global climate change, accounting for over 75 per cent of global greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 90 per cent of all carbon dioxide emissions.
As greenhouse gas emissions blanket the Earth, they trap the sun's heat.
