EPISODE: BACKSTAGE

„Man muss sich nicht komplett umstellen, aber sich pflanzenbasierter zu ernähren ist einer der besten Wege, das Klima zu entlasten.“

EPISODE: NOT JUST FOR HIPSTERS

„Weißt du, bei der pflanzlichen Lebensweise geht's nicht ums Wer, sondern ums Warum. Und jeder kann sich pflanzlich ernähren, der nachhaltiger leben und dem Planeten helfen möchte.“

“Shift to healthier, more sustainable diets. Consumption of ruminant meat (beef, lamb and goat) is projected to rise 88 percent between 2010 and 2050. Beef, the most commonly consumed ruminant meat, is resource- intensive to produce, requiring 20 times more land and emitting 20 times more GHGs per gram of edible protein than common plant proteins, such as beans, peas and lentils. Limiting ruminant meat consumption to 52 calories per person per day by 2050—about 1.5 hamburgers per week—would reduce the GHG mitigation gap by half and nearly close the land gap. In North America this would require reducing current beef and lamb consumption by nearly half. Actions to take include improving the marketing of plant-based foods, improving meat substitutes and implementing policies that favor consumption of plant-based foods.”

“ACTION 3.1 Shift to healthy and sustainable climate- friendly diets CHALLENGE 3.1: Incentivize dramatic reductions in beef and dairy consumption in 15 high- and middle-income countries and all C40 cities by 2030” “WHY: Consumption of beef and dairy is the largest single driver of agricultural GHGs globally. Beef production contributes 2.9 Gt CO2 e/yr or 41% of total agricultural emissions, while dairy contributes about 1.4 Gt CO2 e/yr or 20%. 114 More climate-friendly protein sources are available: for 100 grams of protein, there are wide differences among protein sources, but also within a single protein source there is a wide range for production efficiency, as indicated by the 10th and 90th percentiles in Figure 12, suggesting that dietary shifts and increased production efficiency can make major changes in emissions.”
