Cutting meat production and consumption by 30 percent would help to reduce carbon emissions and improve health in the most meat-loving nations, scientists said .
科學家稱,如果將最愛食肉國家的肉類生產(chǎn)和消費量減少30%,那么將有助于減少碳排放和改善人們健康。
Using prediction models, British and Australian researchers found that improving efficiency, increasing carbon captureand reducing fossil fuel dependence in farming would not be enough to meet emissions targets.
英國和澳大利亞的研究人員通過使用預測模型進行研究后發(fā)現(xiàn),僅靠提高能源使用率、增加碳收集以及降低農(nóng)業(yè)對礦物燃料的依賴還不足以實現(xiàn)減排目標。
But combining these steps with a 30 percent reduction in livestock production in major meat-producing nations and a similar cut in meat-eating, would lead to "substantial population health benefits" and cut emissions, they said.
但研究人員稱,如果在此基礎上將肉類主要生產(chǎn)國的家畜產(chǎn)量和肉類消費分別降低30%,則可“極大增進人們的健康”,同時減少碳排放。
