Carbon Brief has put together an informative, interactive look at the impact of eating meat and dairy on the climate. As part of a series exploring issues such as how coronavirus has impacted emissions from food waste to whether expanding middle-class populations will always increase their meat consumption, this Q&A tool explores current impacts but also potential solutions. Such as how much carbon is actually saved by taking up a vegan diet? Is it better to eat local? And do plant-based meat alternatives have a lower climate impact? Presenting complex data in this Q&A format helps put the issues into the context of our daily lives, hopefully helping to inform people how their food choices can impact our climate.
