“We cannot address climate change without moving away from fossil fuels. 'Equally', we cannot reach our climate targets without tackling global food production. Even if we stopped emissions from fossil fuels right now, emissions from food production alone would take us well beyond the carbon budget for 1.5°C, and leave little room to reach our 2°C target.” https://ourworldindata.org/food-emissions-carbon-budget

“The annual methane emissions from AAg alone causes more incremental global warming than the annual CO2 emissions from all FF sources combined.” https://climatehealers.org/the-science/animal-agriculture-position-paper/

The EAT-Lancet Commission says that we can feed 10B people a healthy diet within IPCC goals. https://eatforum.org/eat-lancet-commission/

Emissions from food alone could use up all of our budget for 1.5°C or 2°C – but we have a range of opportunities to avoid this

If we want to meet our global climate targets we need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from food. What options do we have?
