Food systems account for one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. If left unchecked, these emissions are likely to contribute enough additional warming to push the Earth's average temperature beyond a 1.5°C increase by the 2060s. Research indicates...
Researchers analyzed what would happen if animal-based foods were replaced with whole, plant-based foods. Anne Charlotte explains: “Whole foods (fruits, vegetables, etc.) are slightly better in terms of environmental impact, but…
Reducing Carbon Footprint: The Impact of Plant-Based Foods on Climate Change
Today, climate change has become one of the most important environmental problems in the world, and this situation poses serious threats to the sustainability of our planet and human health. Climate change occurs as a result of the increase in the accumulation of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere and the acceleration of the global warming process. Human activities such as the use of fossil fuels, deforestation and animal husbandry are responsible for the majority of greenhouse gas emissions. At this point, the critical role that plant-based foods play in combating climate change should be underlined.
