Agri-food emissions

20/09/2024 Go to Evidence

15 % emissions could be reduced by reducing fertilizer use or adopting organic agriculture, but this could also reduce agricultural production by 5 %, increase food prices by 13 % and make healthy diets more expensive by 10 % (Sutton, Lotsch & Prasann, 2024).
