The food chain, from farm to table, is responsible for roughly 30% of greenhouse gases (GHG) in France, ie slightly more than the emissions from the transport sector.
Several NGOs are campaigning for a radical change in our eating habits, especially by drastically reducing our consumption of meat; 10 times more GHGs are emitted for a kilo of meat than for a kilo of fruit or vegetables.
The point of view of Vincent Réquillart, TSE researcher for The Economist.
