A recent study reveals that food systems contribute around 35% of global greenhouse gas emissions (~20 GtCO2e/y). This figure is projected to rise with increasing food demands, challenging global climate targets. However, through intensified low-emission practices and carbon sequestration, emissions can potentially be reduced from 21.4 to -2.0 GtCO2e/y without carbon offsets like afforestation.
Achieving net-zero food systems requires a diverse approach, including diet shifts and cutting-edge technologies. A promising pathway involves adopting the least emission-intensive practices that sequester carbon effectively. This transition demands cost-effective mitigation, robust governance, and financial innovation in the 2020s, paving the way for affordable, scalable technologies by 2050.
At BlueXPRT we are committed to realizing sustainable innovations that support these crucial transitions, guiding us toward a net-zero future. 🌿🔍
