Pursuing the Paris Climate Accord Goals: Martin Heller
Martine Heller talks about sustainable diets and the process of producing food in the context of the Paris Climate Accord.
A recent study (optional reading), co-authored by Martin Heller, explored how much variability there is in the GHGs of American diets and found that 46% of the total emissions from food came from the diets of just 1/5 of the population. In this segment we will talk about how much our food choices individually and collectively, contribute to total GHG emissions in the United States. We also discuss the concept of “food miles” and where the majority of our food-related GHG emissions come from.
