Livsmedelsproduktionen bidrar till klimatförändringarna via utsläpp av koldioxid, men de två växthusgaser som påverkar klimatet mest och uppkommer via köttindustrin är metan och lustgas. Idag står produktionen av kött och mejerier för cirka 15 % de globala utsläppen, vilket är lika mycket som utsläppen från bilar, flygplan, bussar och båtar genererar tillsammans. Livsmedelssektorn inom Sverige ståThis study shows that by choosing plant-based organic food for lunch in the Swedish elementary school, one of the national environmental objectives in Sweden, Reduced climate impact, can benefit and be achieved sooner.
