Climate Change Increases Cross-Species Viral Transmission Risk
It is estimated that 4000 instances of cross-species virus transmission will occur due to new species aggregating together in the following areas: high elevations, biodiversity hotspots, and regions of Asia and Africa with high density populations
More DetailsThe Climate Responsibilities of Industrial Meat and Dairy Producers
The authors evaluate the world’s 35 largest meat and dairy companies on their climate commitments, projected emissions, and public actions.
More DetailsEnvironmental 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 DetailsGreenhouse Gas Emissions in the European Union, 2013-2021
Specific to farmed-animals, data is available for the following sectors: fuel combustion in agriculture, forestry and fishing; “livestock”; manure management related to various farmed animals (e.g., cattle and pigs); and, enteric fermentation of farmed animals (e.g., cattle and pigs).
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 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 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 DetailsWhere Species Don’t Meet: Invisibilized Animals, Urban Nature and City Limits
This paper provides an argument against prioritizing a multispecies entanglement approach when considering how to combat climate change.
More DetailsEnvironmental and Human Health Challenges of Industrial Livestock and Poultry Farming in China and their Mitigation
in the context of growing industrialized livestock and poultry production in China, this review article examines the pollutants emitted by concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs) and their consequences for CAFO workers, communities, and the food system.
