This paper gives an overview of the environmental impact of the meat chain. This industry has a significant impact on the environment and current scientific research outlines three main perspectives – product-based using life cycle assessment as a tool; process-based exploring the main environmental...
"How quickly these shifts occur and how large they will be remains to be seen, but companies that have traditionally focused on producing large quantities of meat may have to shift towards producing more 'premium' products with low environmental impact and/or plant-based alternatives to remain co...
The book discusses city-scale actions to estimate the environmental impact of food systems, including the meat chain, feeding crops to farmed fish, the confectionary industry, agriculture, tea processing, cheese production, the dairy industry, cold chain, and ice cream production. Food waste and ...
“EPA’s acknowledgment of the disproportionate impact experienced by these communities warrants nothing less than the pollution reductions that would come with Option 3, and quickly,” said Patience Burke, campaign manager of the Pure Farms, Pure Water campaign at Waterkeeper Alliance. Burke...
Environmental impact of different production systems and consumer willingness to pay for chicken meat produced with a higher regard for the environment The aim of this study was to identify policy approaches to promote sustainable broiler production in Malaysia and this was addressed by three specific ...
Preventive occupational health interventions in the meat processing industry in upper-middle and high-income countries: a systematic review on their effect... Objective To investigate the effectiveness of occupational health interventions in the meat processing industry on work and health-related outcomes....
Reducing the environmental impact of foods consumed is important for meeting climate goals. We aimed to conduct a randomised controlled trial to test whether ecolabels reduce the environmental impact of food selected in worksite cafeterias, alone or in c
The book discusses city-scale actions to estimate the environmental impact of food systems, including the meat chain, feeding crops to farmed fish, the confectionary industry, agriculture, tea processing, cheese production, the dairy industry, cold chain, and ice cream production. Food waste...
“[There’s] the possibility to use that land for plant-based protein production, nature and extra renewable energy production, which in turn influences the CO2 emissions of cultivated meat,” he says.Depending on the scenario, cultivated meat can have either a higher ...
Reducing meat consumption and combining this with land sparing have the potential to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (Lamb et al. 2016) and increase biodiversity (Phalan et al. 2011). Another mitigation measure is using feed with a low environmental impact for the production of fish, pigs or ...
