Food systems, particularly animal agriculture, contribute significantly to greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for 12 to 20%. The first episode of the Food Pod for Humanity podcast focuses on these impacts and explores sustainable alternatives such as plant-based diets. Conversations with experts highlight the need to address the environmental footprint of food production, which includes land use and emissions from digestive processes of livestock. The season aims to find solutions for transforming these systems in a way that is equitable and promotes sustainability.
"Animal agriculture alone accounts for 12 to 20% of those emissions, making it a significant contributor to climate change. The food system as a whole emits one-quarter to one-third of greenhouse gases."
"Animal agriculture is a very large sector that produces nutritious food, employs people, and sustains livelihoods, particularly for women in low and middle-income countries, despite its environmental impact."
