Introduction
In this lesson: I can compare the impacts that different foods have on climate change and suggest ways to eat more sustainably. Producing food for humans and other animals uses resources and releases greenhouse gases that lead to climate change. Land-use change, farming, processing, transport, retail and packaging all add to the carbon footprint of food.
