Highlights
Re-Examining the Impact of Annual Weather Fluctuations on Global Livestock Production
This study investigates the impact of climate change on global livestock production and discovers that a 1°C increase in temperature results in a 9.7% decrease in beef production, with tropical countries bearing the brunt of the effect
More DetailsExploring the Pathways towards the Mitigation of the Environmental Impacts of Food Consumption
In Denmark, a study analyzing the nation’s potential to reduce its food system greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and resource footprint found that animal products account for 80% of the nation’s food-related footprint.
More DetailsCountry-Specific Dietary Shifts to Mitigate Climate and Water Crises
Vegan diets show the largest potential for a decrease in global greenhouse gas emissions and water use, followed by diets that limit animal products in varying degrees, with the exception of diets that eliminate meat but contain dairy and eggs.
More DetailsQuantifying Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Global Aquaculture
The researchers analyzed greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in global aquaculture, including emissions from the beginning of production to point of sale, but excluding those post-farm.
More DetailsOpportunities and Challenges for Common Agricultural Policy Reform to Support the European Green Deal
The article discusses the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and its alignment with the European Green Deal (EGD). The CAP, established in 1957, aims to support the development of programs for farms and rural areas in the EU.
More DetailsReview: Associations among Goods, Impacts and Ecosystem Services Provided by Livestock Farming
This review quantifies the decrease in environmental impacts (e.g. greenhouse gas emissions, nitrogen deposits, land-use demand) in relation to a decrease in livestock production.
More DetailsAgricultural Management and Climatic Change are the Major Drivers of Biodiversity Change in the UK
This study reviewing the drivers of population change over 400 species and three taxonomic groups in the United Kingdom (U.K.) finds that intensive agricultural management (e.g. livestock grazing) and climate change are the strongest contributors to population changes, whether those impacts be negative or positive.
More DetailsCreating a Sustainable Future: A Menu of Solutions to Feed Nearly 10 Billion People by 2050
Increasing food supply to meet the world’s demand can only be done if the food production, agricultural land area, and greenhouse gas (GHG) mitigation gaps are closed, and a global shift towards plant-based diets is a means of doing so.
More DetailsGlobal Patterns of Socioeconomic Biomass Flows in the Year 2000: A Comprehensive Assessment of Supply, Consumption and Constraints
International data were used to estimate and illustrate the flow of biomass (organic materials used for energy, such as wood) that had not previously been studied such as grazed biomass, crop residues, and unused biomass for 11 different regions in the year 2000.
