牛津大學的研究，植物性食物是低碳之選

 GCIOSGF Fashion Veggie Club Newsletter 會訊：

Plant-based foods are a low-carbon option, with carbon emissions 10 to 50 times lower than animal-based foods, according to research from the University of Oxford. Here’s a ranking of the carbon emissions of various types of food to give you a better idea of ​​how your dietary choices impact the environment:

Plant-based foods: Most plant-based foods have a very low carbon footprint and are the most environmentally friendly option. Vegetables, fruits, etc. fall into this category and are the first choice for your low-carb diet.

Fish, poultry and pork: Fish, poultry and pork have relatively low carbon emissions and are more environmentally friendly sources of protein.

Beef: The carbon emissions of beef are much higher than those of other meats, firmly ranking as the champion of food carbon emissions. Therefore, reducing your beef intake is an effective way to lower your carbon footprint.

Our World in Data data reveals food carbon emissions

Oxford University's data website platform "Our World in Data" provides the greenhouse gas emissions of each food in the food supply chain. The data covers greenhouse gas emissions from land use, farm livestock raising, animal feed production, food processing and handling, to transportation, retail and packaging. This gives us a comprehensive understanding of the environmental impact of different foods, allowing us to make more environmentally friendly dietary choices.

Low-carbon diet, each of us can participate in environmental protection

Global carbon emissions are increasing and the climate crisis is looming, with food production accounting for a quarter of total global greenhouse gas emissions. The dietary choices each of us make impact the future of our environment. By choosing a low-carb diet, reducing meat intake, and choosing local and seasonal foods, we can do our part to help the planet and jointly address the challenges of climate change.

Let us protect the future of the earth through dietary changes and create a low-carbon, sustainable lifestyle.

根據牛津大學的研究，植物性食物是低碳之選，其碳排放比動物性食物低 10 至 50 倍。以下是各類食物的碳排放量排名，讓您更了解您的飲食選擇如何影響環境：

植物性食物： 大部分植物性食物的碳排放量極低，是最環保的選擇。蔬菜、水果等屬於這個類別，是您低碳飲食的首選。

魚類、家禽及豬肉： 魚類、家禽及豬肉的碳排放量相對較低，是較為環保的蛋白來源。

牛肉： 牛肉的碳排放量遠遠高於其他肉類，穩居食物碳排放的冠軍位置。因此，減少牛肉攝取是降低碳足跡的有效途徑。

Our World in Data 數據揭示食物碳排放

牛津大學的數據網站平臺「Our World in Data」提供了食物供應鏈中各食物的溫室氣體排放量。該數據涵蓋了從土地使用、農場畜牧養殖、動物飼料生產、食物加工及處理，到運輸、零售和包裝等各個環節所排放的溫室氣體量。這讓我們能夠全面了解不同食物對環境產生的影響，進而做出更環保的飲食選擇。

低碳飲食，我們每個人都能參與環保

全球碳排放不斷增加，氣候危機逼在眉睫，而食物生產佔全球溫室氣體總排放的四分之一。我們每個人的飲食選擇都在影響環境的未來。通過選擇低碳飲食，減少肉類攝取，並選擇當地和季節性的食物，我們可以為地球環境出一份力，共同應對氣候變遷挑戰。

讓我們一起透過飲食的改變，守護地球的未來，共創低碳、可持續的生活方式。
