La producción de alimentos causa emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero que hacen peligrar el cumplimiento de los objetivos establecidos por la ONU

Gas emissions of greenhouse effect that comes from food production make difficult to get climate goals of the United Nations. Technologic University of Chalmers (Suecia) research indicates that it will be complex to reduce increasing of global temperature until 2 ºC. The study show the food production causes gas emissions of greenhouse effect. Carbon dioxide that comes from energy and transport sector are the main pollution producers. If they reduce the emissions of these sectors, it won´t be enough to guarantee to be under the UN limit while agricultural emissions are still growing up because global consume of milk and meat is increasing. If agricultural emissions doesn´t have any treatment, nitrous oxide of the fields and methane of the livestock can double in 2070, and therefore it will provoke the goal was impossible to get. This research demonstrates that reduction in consumption is key for climate pollution gets save levels. Change in dieting is a way to be environmental friendly. In 2070, population on the Earth will grow up, this means that their diet will have high content of milk, cheese, meat and other food with high emissions. Agricultural emissions are difficult and expensive to reduce through changes in methods of production or by technology. The growth of people will suppose increasing of emissions that will rise pollution. These emissions can be reduced with improvement of efficiency and by technology in the production of meat and milk. Although the reduction expected, these measures won´t be enough for being under the limit emissions, if food production and consume are still increasing. Slamb generate the major quantity of agricultural emissions, in proportion with the energy that it promotes. In 2050, slamb will represent the middle of the gas emissions of agricultural greenhouse effect, meanwhile it only will contribute with 3 % of the human caloric income. Cheese and milky products will cause approximately 3% of the agricultural climate pollution. Source: Europa Press
