Fixing food’s big climate problem

It surprises many people to learn that the food we eat, the farms that grow it, and the landscapes we’ve cleared all contribute to climate change. And contribute in a big way.

Unfortunately, policymakers, business leaders, investors, and philanthropists often overlook this critical aspect of climate change. Moving forward, we must carefully weigh the food system’s impact on climate and develop a robust portfolio of solutions to address it.
