An essential cut โญ
May 14, 2023โป๏ธ๐ฅฉ Not of pork, but greenhouse gas emissions from agricultural production! The sector generates 10% to 12% of the total global greenhouse gas emissions – if we account for the food system as a whole, that number jumps to around 33%. So the message from the US climate envoy John Kerry, at the AIM for Climate Summit in Washington, was that agriculture is crucial in the global fight against climate change and as such, should be the protagonist.
• The AIM for Climate Summit in Washington is a global initiative co-led by the US and the United Arab Emirates aimed to drive investment in sustainable farming.
๐ Oh, just an FYI, rising global temperatures have severe implications for malnutrition and worldwide food security – meaning that the more cuts in gas emissions, the more pork cuts we have to enjoy (gotta have our priorities straight, huh?). Click here for more information.
