The environmental impact of everything we eat can make up more than a thrid of our overall carbon dioxide emissions. Eating meat is both land and energy intensive. |
In addition, cows produce significant amounts of methane, which is greenhouse gas more than 12 times more impactful the carbon dioxide.Eating locally sourced organic produce will reduce your carbon dioxide emissions but other simple actions can help reduce your overall footprint.
Household consumption has increased and changed its form since households are getting smaller and use more energy, water and waste per person. This also leads to increase in personal travel and health expenditures. It is most likely that the pressure on environment will continue to grow. Hence attaining a sustainable consumption and production is a challenge and responsibility for all the stakeholders of society.
As regard to the impact on health, habits in food and drink consumption have a significant impact on environmental resources. The most significant one comes from food production and processing: About one third of households’ total environmental impact is related to food and drink consumption. It comprises the indirect or direct effects of livestock agriculture and industry on water, soil and air, the overuse of fish resources, the increase of food transport and packaging waste.
