Introduction

In this lesson: I can explain how food production is affected by and contributes to climate change, and how changes in diet can help to limit climate change. Food production is at risk due to global warming and climate change Climate change makes extreme weather events more common, and this makes it more challenging to produce food

Show transcript
Food production is at risk due to global warming and climate change Climate change makes extreme weather events more common, and this makes it more challenging to produce food Emissions of greenhouse gases from various stages of food production add to the carbon footprint of foods Changes in our diet can help us reduce emissions from food production and limit climate change Comparing emissions data for different diets helps us understand the impact of food choices
