Subject :Environment
Section : Biodiversity
Context: A new study by WWF and Tesco revealed that food waste amounts to 10 per cent of GHG, a jump from previous estimates of eight per cent.
Concept:
- The WWF has launched the “Good for you, Good for the planet” campaign to guide people towards eating a planet friendly diet.
- A new study by WWF and Tesco revealed that food waste amounts to 10 per cent of GHG
- Adopting a plant-based diet brings down food-based greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by at least 30 per cent, wildlife loss by up to 46 per cent agriculture land-use by at least 41 per cent and premature deaths by at least 20 per cent
- This amounts to twice the yearly carbon emissions from automobiles in the United States and Europe.
- Overall, 2.5 billion tonnes of food goes uneaten globally.
