Food and Climate Crisis
The world is headed towards challenges with regard to availability of food and climate impact. The current food system is broken and won’t be able to support projected population growth, nor will we be able to meet climate change targets through it.
~80% more crops needed by 2050 food demand
~30% of greenhouse gases are related to food
9.7 billion humans by 2050
77% of agricultural land used by animal agriculture, despite supplying only 17% of food
2x CO2 emissions from food industry compared to transportation
1.6 Earths needed by 2050 to sustain current consumption
