Keen to learn more about the emissions of food?

Check out Sarah Bridle’s Food and Climate Change without the hot air. Change your diet: the easiest way to help save the planet.

In Food and Climate Change without the hot air, Sarah Bridle details the carbon footprint of the food we eat, from breakfast to lunch, from snacks to supper. She breaks down the environmental impact of each food, so we can see where the emissions are highest and where we can make sustainable food choices.

With this knowledge, we can make changes to our diet – e.g. eating more locally grown produce and introducing meat free days. This will reduce the greenhouse gas emissions so damaging to our planet and probably be healthier for us, too.

Food and Climate Change without the hot air considers:

• How to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions that come from food – currently 25%.
• What effect the food we eat has on the environment of our planet.
• How climate change will affect the food we will eat in the future.
• How consumers can play their part in reducing food-based carbon emissions.

No kitchen should be without this engaging, carefully researched and practical guide to the carbon in our food.

Did you know a latte is ten times worse for the climate than a cup of black coffee? Or that each calorie of beef requires 20 calories of feed? ‘Food and Climate Change Without the Hot Air’ provides a levelheaded, clear, and detailed picture of food emissions – a basic literacy we should all have in a time of accelerating climate consequence.
