Comprehensive Showcase of Global Low Carbon Food Innovations & Startups
From CLIMAFIX, the leader in climate innovation intelligence
Low Carbon Food Introduction:
The food value chain is one of the largest sectoral contributors to global greenhouse emissions.
All food items carry a carbon footprint. For some foodstuffs like meat and dairy that directly depend on livestock, the carbon footprint is very high, mainly owing to significant methane emissions upstream of the value chain. Total global emissions from livestock are about 7.2 billion tons of CO2 equivalent, a good percentage of these being grown for food. The world consumes about 1.5 billion pigs, 570 million sheep, 475 million goats, 320 million cattle, and about 160 million tons of seafood every year.
Solutions to find emissions reduction strategies, or alternatives/substitutes to foods with high carbon footprint will have a significant impact on global decarbonization.
For the 2020-2030 period, innovations with impact can be expected in the domains of cultured meat, plant-based meat, plant-based pet nutrition, and plant-based dairy & eggs.
