How our food consumption habits can affect greenhouse gas emission levels
19 January 2022
Our food consumption habits are a major contributor to climate change and in particular, greenhouse gas emission levels. Without a substantial shift in global diets, scientists predict that the world is unlikely to achieve targets set out under the Paris Agreement.
