Скачать или смотреть Paul Behrens | Dual climate benefits from a great food transition

In his presentation at Frontiers Forum Live 2023, Dr Paul Behrens from Leiden University in the Netherlands described his work to quantify the potential climate benefits of plant-based diets, which led to him being named as one of the first Frontiers Planet Prize International Champions.

His team's research into the impact of high-income nations shifting to a plant-based diet, shows an initial benefit of reduced greenhouse gas emissions from direct agricultural production, and a second benefit of increased carbon sequestration in land no longer used for farming animal products, that is restored to its natural vegetation.
