Intensify to reduce emissions?
As pressure to reduce carbon emissions from the food chain increases, a recent report adds weight to the theory that this can only be achieved through more intensive agricultural and horticultural production. The ‘How low can we go?’ report, commissioned by WWF and the Food Climate Research Network, suggests that we can only meet carbon emission targets by making the industry more efficient, using more technology, reducing waste and minimising the carbon involved in food production, manufacturing and transport.
