"Global food systems generate about 30% of all greenhouse gases, mainly as methane emissions from cattle," says Jessica Fanzo, a professor of climate at the Columbia Climate School and the director of the Food for Humanity Initiative, a network of Columbia scholars working on food-systems research and pedagogy. "Industrialized food systems are the biggest users of freshwater resources and the number-one driver of deforestation and biodiversity loss, since you have to clear land to raise and feed billions of animals."
