claimProcessed food production generates high greenhouse gas emissions, accelerates land-use change to support agriculture and intensive livestock activities, and requires large amounts of water and agrochemicals.

claimCurrent dietary patterns cause an acceleration of greenhouse gas emissions, increased prevalence of obesity and diabetes, and an expansion of land-use change to satisfy the demand for highly processed food products and sugary drinks.
