[BCFSN] To cut emissions, eating vegetables-not eating local-is the key

[Pamela Zevit]

Interesting piece. Wonder how well that compares here (admittedly I am not willing to give up my
cheese addiction just yet). 

 

"For Europeans concerned about their food's environmental footprint, the popular trend of 'going
local' is not the solution, a new study finds. Instead, reducing the intake of meat and dairy
products of which Europeans are so fond is a much more powerful tool for reducing the EU's
greenhouse gas emissions."

And this one from September:

How food companies shape the nutrition research agenda. "Corporate sponsorship of research can
introduce bias in how it is designed, conducted or published.(1, 2) These biases tend to produce
research that favours the sponsor's product by overemphasizing (or maximizing) benefits and / or
underemphasizing (minimizing) harms."

The word Adamah is rooted in the Hebrew language (Adam - man, Adamah - earth) and is interpreted as
the "land from which man was made".  At its roots lies the recognition of our species intrinsic
connection to the earth and the inherent responsibility to protect and sustain it.
