Agricultural impact
- FAO Lifestock's Long Shadow
- Lifestock and Climate Change (WWI) The UN agricultural organisation FAO estimates annual emissions in agriculture at 7,5 Gt CO2 (18%), the World-Watch-Institute WWI at 32 Gt (51%), taking rain forest destruction and the impact of methane into account more seriously. The WWI estimates total global emissions at 64 Gt/year, leaving a shorter time window. In every case meat consumption is problematic.
