A new greenhouse gas inventory found that food production and consumption is New York’s third biggest generator of carbon emissions, after buildings and transportation.
Officials are pushing for plant-based diets, saying these are good for both consumers and the environment.
“The feedback we’re getting is mostly thumbs up on all the recipes,” said Wellness in the Schools national programme director Marion Williams. “Red meat, in particular, and dairy, in the way that food is produced at the farm level, it’s very carbon-intensive,” said Ms Kate MacKenzie, executive director at the New York City Mayor’s Office of Food Policy.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, who himself follows a plant-based diet, aims to slash food-based emissions by a third across the city’s agencies by 2030. “We already know that a plant-powered diet is better for your physical and mental health,” said Mr Adams.
