[HIGHLIGHTS] Halving meat consumption would allow France to achieve its climate goals

Halving meat consumption would allow France to achieve its climate goals. Food represents 22% of the country's carbon footprint.

60% of these emissions come from the production, at the agricultural level, of the food we consume. “Chicken consumption per capita in France has in fact more than doubled between 2000 and 2022,” highlights the study. The Action Climat network and the French Nutrition Society have carried out “diet modeling work sustainable” with the MS Nutrition design office.
