Food
Can we feed 10 billion people and still meet the Paris Climate net zero carbon target in 2050? The World Resources Institute thinks we can, if we change how we eat, grow food and protect and restore ecosystems. They map 21 actions in their Creating a Sustainable Food Future report. The biggest impact is from shifting to plant-based diets, which use 20 times less land and emit 20 times less carbon than meat. Other actions are extending food shelf life, keeping nitrogen in the soil, low-methane rice and cattle feed, high-yield oil palm, algae-based fish food and massive reforestation.
