Why do we get Global Warming?
![Page 7: The Impact of Our Food Choices on Climate Change and the Environment](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062323/56816500550346895dd76dca/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How do we get Global Warming?
Transportation Emissions– C02
Water Consumption
Land Utilization
Emissions– CO2 ,CH4, N2 O
Livestock Farming

Livestock Farming
An industry that grows animals specifically for food consumption

Shortage of Water
Source: FAO
Water is a renewable but finite source

Shortage and Degradation of Land
In the near future, the amount of land used for livestock feed will be in direct competition with the amount used to grow food for humans.

Food Scarcity
Reducing meat production by just 10 percent in the U.S. would free enough grain to feed 60 million people
