To tackle climate change we need to rethink our food system (Financial Nigeria)

September 10, 2019


Financial Nigeria republished an opinion piece co-authored by Director General Shenggen Fan on the importance of rethinking the food system when tackling climate change. The article described how the food system is a key contributor to climate change, driven in large part by food waste and emissions from animal agriculture. Ultimately, the authors called for changes to the food system at all scales—from personal decisions to reduce food waste to new, plant-based food technologies that can help curb meat consumption.
