Your Plate Shapes the Planet

Food production is responsible for roughly twenty-six percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, uses about half of all habitable land, and is the primary driver of biodiversity loss. No other daily human activity has a comparable environmental footprint.

The full picture extends beyond carbon. Food production accounts for seventy percent of global freshwater withdrawals and is the leading cause of water pollution worldwide. Agricultural runoff creates ocean dead zones that suffocate marine life across thousands of square kilometers.
