Your Questions About Food and Climate Change, Answered

1

Beef, lamb and cheese tend to do the most climate damage. Pork, chicken and eggs are in the middle. Plants of all kinds typically have the lowest impact.

2

What you eat matters a lot more than whether it’s local or organic, or what kind of bag you use to carry it home from the store.

3

You don’t have to give up meat altogether to make a difference. Even small shifts, like eating less meat and more plants, or switching from beef to chicken, can reduce your climate footprint.

4

Waste less. Buying what you need and actually eating it — instead of tossing it out — means that the energy used to produce your food has been spent efficiently.
