Food Systems Responsible for Over 33% of Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions, Report Says
A pioneering new study published in Nature Food says the world’s food systems are responsible for more than one-third of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions.
Spanning from land-use change and agricultural production to packaging and waste management, food system emissions were estimated at 18 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2015.
That is 34 percent of the total, a share that is gradually declining – it was 44 percent in 1990 – even as food systems emissions kept increasing in absolute amounts.
