claimThe 2021 Global Nutrition Report states that to reduce greenhouse gas emissions sufficiently to avoid dangerous levels of global warming, it is necessary to prioritize policy initiatives aimed at reducing the amounts of animal-based foods in human diets, a change that is also warranted on health grounds.
procedureThe 2021 Global Nutrition Report assessment of environmental impacts of diets included greenhouse gas emissions, cropland use, fresh-water use, and nitrogen and phosphorus application related to fertilizers.
referenceThe Global Nutrition Report analysis of food demand estimates from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and a database of environmental footprints shows that dietary patterns in Northern America, Oceania, Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Asia consistently exceeded global environmental targets for greenhouse gas emissions, cropland use, freshwater use, and nitrogen and phosphorus application between 2010 and 2018.
