Greenhouse gas emissions from the way humans consume food could add nearly 1 degree of warming to Earth’s climate by 2100, according to a study out Monday in Nature Climate Change.
FILE- A line of Holstein dairy cows feed through a fence at a dairy farm on March 11, 2009, outside Jerome, Idaho. Greenhouse gas emissions from the way humans consume food could add nearly one degree of warming to the Earths climate by 2100, according to a new study Monday, March 6, 2023. Researchers found that the majority of greenhouse gas emissions come from three major food groups meat from animals like cows, sheep and goats, dairy and rice.
The modeling study found that the majority of greenhouse gas emissions come from three major sources: meat from animals like cows, sheep and goats; dairy; and rice. Those three sources account for at least 19% each of food's contribution to a warming planet, according to the study, with meat contributing the most, at 33%.
Ivanovich and colleagues from the University of Florida and Environmental Defense Fund calculated the three major gases produced by each type of food over its lifetime based on current consumption patterns. Then they scaled the annual emissions over time by gas based on five different population projections.
