#Livestock farmers in the EU receive 1,200 times more public funding than plant-based or cultivated #meat groups.
The study analysed #EU and US agri policies from 2014 to 2020. It found the amount of public money spent on #plant-based alternatives (1.5% of sales) was just 0.1% of the subsidies spent on meat and dairy. EU cattle farmers got >50% of their income from direct subsidies
For research and innovation spending, 97% went to animal farmers

Fascinating global #FoodSystem analysis by Joseph Poore. It exposes the inefficiency of the current food system, and shows that a #plantbased system would reduce global #farmland by more than 75%, freeing up vast areas of land for #rewilding.

Yes, burning LNG reduces SOx & NOx, but it’s no climate solution for maritime (shipping, cruising, etc.). MSC & every cruise line should stop investing in false solutions.

Taking action on flight emissions
From prohibiting domestic flights in order to promote public transport use, to banning private jet use, we explore the practical measures that can be taken to reduce aviation emissions

Livestock provides only 18% of global calories and 37% of protein, yet it occupies 77% of farmland.

An article in the New York Times about dealing with Food Waste in Ohio which provides some hope.

A list from ProjectDrawdown listing how certain solutions can affect #GHGs in their opinion.
https://drawdown.org/solutions/table-of-solutions
You can sort the list in a variety of ways. I've sorted it by Scenario 1 which corresponds to 2C temperature rise by 2100 to show the solutions by descending effect.
Seems like there are varying opinions.
I don't disagree with any of that.
The Paris Agreement, which uses geographical accounting, gives Australia a fig leaf under which to hide the #emissions from the products it creates.
The difficulty as I see it is conflating an accounting system to track emissions (essential for understanding) with ethical responsibility to avert a worsening, and potentially existential, crisis.
Double counting #GHGs isn't advisable, but double counting efforts to curb them ASAP is!
@wall0159 @qbas81
Embodied #emissions is a different accounting system.
In consumer-based (carbon footprint) accounting, emissions are labelled by (embedded in) a product or activity, rather than location.
In geographical accounting, #GHGs are labelled by emitting location (Scope 1). Those from electricity generated elsewhere (Scope 2) or released elsewhere from end product use (Scope 3) aren't included.
The global total is the same, but the distribution by nation or group is different.

The #Maldives should not become the world’s garbage dump.
Burning #plasticwaste for "energy" releases #GHGs and contributes to accelerating the #ClimateCrisis and produces atmospheric and other pollutants for local communities and workers.

When it comes to greenhouse gas emissions, the worst of the plant foods studied is better than the best of the meats studied.
If you'd give up just one meat, from a carbon perspective alone, beef is the one.

#DYK the transport sector accounts for one quarter of greenhouse gas emissions, 70% from road transport?The switch to #ElectricVehicles🔋can help reduce #GHGs, but is not the cure: changing our behaviour & embracing sustainable mobility are key.
