Study Finds Global Food Systems Could Lead to Exceeding Temperature Targets
A new study published in Nature Climate Change has found that the global food system could be a major contributor to exceeding the 1.5-degree Celsius temperature target set by the Paris Agreement. The study, conducted by researchers from the University of Oxford, found that the food system is responsible for up to 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions, and that if current trends continue, the food system could be responsible for up to 60% of global emissions by 2050. The study also found that the global food system is responsible
