One-third of Earth’s greenhouses gases come from the global food and agricultural system. That fact has the country’s major food service companies discussing ways to reduce the carbon emissions that comes from the food they serve. Bon Appetit, a restaurant, instituted a low carbon diet initiative that has dropped its greenhouse gas emissions by 25 percent. Food science is now looking beyond transportation as the main contributing factor to global warming. Researchers are tallying emissions related to many of the steps in the life cycles of a variety of foods. These life-cycle assessments will provide scientists with information on how food production is impacting global warming.
