Emissions from food system alone will drive the world past target, unless high-methane foods are tackled.
[57% of emissions from the food system arise from animal agriculture](https://www.nature.com/articles/s43016-021-00358-x),” said Prof Pete Smith, at the University of Aberdeen, UK. Only a third of the world’s countries have included policies to cut emissions from agriculture in the climate plans they have submitted under the UN Paris agreement. This means emissions from food alone, ignoring the huge impact of fossil fuels, would push the world past the 1.5C limit. Cutting methane emissions from cattle using feed additives and better management of manure could avoid another 0.2C, the researchers said, while switching to green energy in the food system would cut 0.15C. The contribution of global food production to the climate crisis is complex because it involves several important greenhouse gases, all of which have different abilities to trap heat and persist in the atmosphere for different amounts of time. “Sustaining the pattern [of food production] we have today is not consistent with keeping the 1.5C temperature threshold.

With data for so many different kinds of foods, Ivanovich’s team could then factor in population growth—basically, how many more people will be consuming these foods by the year 2100. “That’s not necessarily considering if that’s a realistic future, or if that’s really what the world is going to look like in 2100. With an ever-expanding population—and a ballooning middle class consuming more meat—humanity is spewing ever-more planet-warming gasses in its quest to feed itself. A new estimate shows just how bad it could get: By the year 2100, the global food system alone could contribute almost a degree Celsius of warming.

"The majority of future warming from the food sector comes from the emissions of methane," said Ivanovich. The global food system accounts for about 15 percent of current warming levels, but only a third of national emissions reductions plans under the Paris pact include any measure to cut carbon pollution from agriculture or livestock. A major overhaul of the sector -- from production to distribution to consumption -- could reduce those emissions by more than half even as global population increases, they reported in Nature Climate Change.

(A sensitivity is different from a food allergy, in which the immune system mounts a response—hives, itching, swelling, [stomach pain](https://www.prevention.com/health/a40720962/why-does-my-stomach-hurt/), or even anaphylaxis—to a food it sees as a threat.) Robin plans to try a true elimination test of cow’s milk to see if her symptoms improve. “If a test shows that somebody has a positive IgG to milk, they’ve been exposed to milk.” In fact, IgG can remain in your blood for up to nine months after you’re exposed to food, so it can be impossible to sort out whether you have, say, an intolerance to garlic or whether you merely ate something with garlic in it months ago. Robin Lee Mozer, 43, a professor in Louisville, KY, was previously diagnosed by a doctor with allergies to tree nuts, pears, and carrots. But the presence of IgG does not mean you have a sensitivity to a certain food. Testing for food sensitivities usually means ruling out allergies, then eliminating the possible culprits from your diet and adding them back one by one to figure out what’s causing the discomfort.

The authors hope their findings will inform policy and business decisions that support efforts to lower food system emissions and build resilience to the climate risks that can’t be avoided. However, due to data limitations, the study could not assess food waste incurred during production and transportation, which could be another significant opportunity for mitigation. However, the researchers note that because dietary choices are extremely complex, often determined by cultural traditions and food access, it is difficult to assess how much of this mitigation potential is realistic or ethical to achieve. - Improving agricultural production provides 25% of the mitigation potential: Improvements to production practices and adoption of technologies that decrease enteric and manure methane emissions and nitrous oxide emissions would provide 25% of the reductions possible by the end of the century. In the push to cut expected food system-related warming by more than half this century: "By understanding which food items and greenhouse gases contribute most to future warming, we can address these emissions with targeted strategies which both reduce future climate change and promote food security.”

This means emissions from food alone, ignoring the huge impact of fossil fuels, would push the world past the 1.5C limit. The research, published in the journal, shows that if today’s level of food emissions continued, they would result in at least 0.7C of global heating by the end of the century, on top of the 1C rise already seen. Agriculture's impact on the climate is in the spotlight again after a new study found that emissions from the food system alone will drive the world past 1.5C of global heating unless high-methane foods are tackled.

A new study by climate scientists sheds light on the significant role food systems will play in future global warming, and what can be done about it.
However, due to data limitations, the study could not assess food waste incurred during production and transportation, which could be another significant opportunity for mitigation. The researchers said improvements to production practices and adoption of technologies that decrease methane and nitrous oxide emissions from livestock could provide 25 percent of the reductions possible by the end of the century. The result could be decreasing emissions from ruminant meat, dairy and non-ruminant meat by 35 percent, 30 percent and 10 percent, respectively, by 2100. Solutions will look different around the world, but we should work together with the shared goal of stabilizing the climate.” If health-focused recommendations were adopted globally, the world could avoid 21 percent of predicted food system-driven warming.

An art group at Pentonville prison has produced a booklet that shows how inmates get by deprived of the basic but profound freedom to eat as they like.
Through their art and texts, the men demand you feel the physical and emotional consequences of society’s refusal to acknowledge the reality of prison life. At the outset of the project, food seemed a neutral, if not dull, topic for the group to examine. For vulnerable prisoners, hunger can easily lead to debt and the risk of violence. While cooking offers moments of community for some, it also divides the prison population into those who can afford to cook for themselves and those who cannot. At the end of 2021, the Museum of London asked the group to contribute to London Eats, a year-long programme which aimed to collect material from people across London on the subject of food. For the six weeks of the project spent under a Covid lockdown, they were confined to these cells for more than 23 hours a day. Yet according to the group, prison food is so poor, and serving times so odd, people with enough money give up on the food on offer. The art group agreed to take part but made a series of requests. The previous week, the art group had volunteered him to write the introduction to We Are What We Eat, a booklet on prison food which the group had been working on for months. In Ahmed G’s Reading a Book, a masterfully-drawn cockroach relaxes on one of the prison’s blue plastic plates. At Pentonville, food takes on a heightened level of significance, given the small physical worlds people must inhabit. With more than 50 artworks completed, a long list of quotes agreed on and the inclusion of candid photographs of their wing’s servery, the group had pulled off what at one point had seemed impossible.
