Meat and dairy giants have been accused of halting climate progress by cosying up to policymakers to justify the soaring growth of animal agriculture.
Globally, food and agriculture contribute one-third of total greenhouse gas emissions, second only to burning fossil fuels. In the EU, animal-sourced foods make up between 81 and 86 per cent of total greenhouse gas emissions of total food production – despite only supplying around 21 per cent of calories and 64 per cent of protein.
