greenhouse gas emissions will reportedly urge nations
that "over consume meat" to drastically limit consumption. .

and dairy companies to reduce
emissions underlines the urgent
need for more policy focus on
the food and agriculture sector, Jeremy Coller, Chair and founder of the FAIRR Initiative, via Fox News.
Food system emissions deserve a place
at the top of the table, alongside energy
and transport, as they represent an
estimated third of greenhouse gas
emissions and 40% of methane, Jeremy Coller, Chair and founder of the FAIRR Initiative, via Fox News.
Investors hope the first-ever publication
of a food and agriculture road map at
COP28 this month will catalyze the
transition to 1.5 degrees and a more
sustainable food system, Jeremy Coller, Chair and founder of the FAIRR Initiative, via Fox News.

non-binding, seek to guide policy on reducing the impact
of climate change on the global agricultural industry.

global food system produces 18 billion tons of carbon
dioxide every year, about 34% of total global emissions.
FAO data suggests that livestock is responsible
for about 14.5% of the world's total
greenhouse gas emissions
