Highlights
Environmental Sustainability and Footprints of Global Aquaculture
The authors evaluated the sustainability of different countries’ aquaculture industries by developing a food-energy-water-carbon (FEWC) composite sustainability index.
More DetailsGlobal and Regional Drivers of Land-Use Emissions in 1961–2017
The authors examine global land-use emissions from 1961-2017 specific to countries, processes, greenhouse gasses (GHG), and products.
More DetailsA Global Synthesis of Animal Phenological Responses to Climate Change
Drawing on hundreds of published time series from around the planet, the authors find that animal phenology (seasonal or cyclical biologically driven behaviors influenced by the climate) is affected by different climate variables at different latitudes.
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 DetailsGood Food Buffalo Policy Brief
This policy brief describes the potential benefits of adopting the provisions of the Good Food Purchasing Program in Buffalo Public Schools..
More DetailsNatural Climate Solutions for the United States
Reforestation had the greatest potential to mitigate carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions out of all the 21 Natural Climate Solutions (NCS) examined for the United States to meet the 2025 Paris Agreement greenhouse gas emission (GHG) targets.
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 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 DetailsClimate Watch Agricultural Greenhouse Gas Emissions Data
Climate Watch includes data and visualizations on all countries’ greenhouse gas emissions and Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs). A subset of this data relates to emissions from agriculture.
