Meat, dairy and rice production will bust 1.5C climate target, shows study

Emissions from food system alone will drive the world past target, unless high-methane foods are tackled

Emissions from the food system alone will drive the world past 1.5C of global heating, unless high-methane foods are tackled.

Climate-heating emissions from food production, dominated by meat, dairy and rice, will by themselves break the key international target of 1.5C if left unchecked, a detailed study has shown.
