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.

Inspired by this complex yet relatively unknown issue in the fight against climate change, three NUS students, Premakumar Ganesh, Raphael Roshan Joseph and Ebenezer Denzel Shemaiah developed an interactive video detailing how food production and consumption contribute to greenhouse gas emission levels and impact the environment.

Their video was selected as one of three winning proposals at IPUR’s Optigram competition in 2021.
