  1. okay.
  2. People are always talking about the carbon foot printing of cars, deforestation.
  3. But what about something simple?
  4. Like my breakfast when you bite into a
  5. hamburger or slice into some chicken sandwiches?
  6. Do you think about the impact it had on the environment on its way to you?
  7. While the way we produce food and what we eat
  8. contributes to the loss of natural ecosystem and declining biodiversity,
  9. about 25% of all the global climate exchange
  10. problems we are seeing can be attributed back to
  11. the food and choices that we are actually making about what we eat on a daily basis.
  12. Okay,
  13. Food's carbon footprint of footprint is the
  14. greenhouse gas emissions produced by growing raring,
  15. farming, processing, transporting, storing,
  16. cooking and disposing the food we eat.
  17. Have you ever wondered with part of your food
  18. dick
  19. to reach
  20. food's carbon footprint of footprint?
  21. Is the greenhouse gas emissions produced by growing raring farming, processing,
  22. transporting storey cooking and disposing the food we eat?
  23. Have you ever wondered, what part did your favourite food take to reach your plate?
  24. What footprint did it leave on your planet?
  25. Food.
  26. Miles is one of the major factor used when
  27. assessing the carbon footprint and environmental impact of food food
  28. miles reference to the distance food is transported from the
  29. time of its production until it reaches the consumer.
  30. In India, where agriculture farms are close to the population,
  31. food miles would be much lower than that.
  32. In the cases of developed countries like United States of America,
  33. food miles of food is the highest if it's transported by road.
  34. Okay,
  35. Food.
  36. Miles is one of the major factor used when
  37. assessing the carbon footprint and environmental impact of food.
  38. Food Mile refers to the distance.
  39. Food is transported from the time of its production until it reaches the consumer.
  40. In India, where agricultural farms are close to the population,
  41. food miles would be much lower than that.
  42. In the cases of developed countries like United States of America and menu
  43. food,
  44. miles of food is the highest if it is transported by means of growth transportation.
  45. Mm.
  46. Now the question arises that can the actions of
  47. one person really make a difference to our planet?
  48. In this context,
  49. we will be exploring the ways in which an individual can reduce their footprint and
  50. consider how effective such actions will be in a fight to solve climate change.
  51. Let's talk about different,
  52. simple ways to minimise a carbon footprint through dietary and lifestyle choices.
  53. Mhm.
  54. Now the question arises.
  55. How can you, as an individual, contribute to solving climate change?
  56. Can the actions of one person really make a difference to a planet?
  57. In this context,
  58. we will be exploring the ways in which an individual
  59. can reduce their food print and consider how effective such actions
  60. will be in a fight to solve climate change.
  61. Let's talk about different simple ways to minimise
  62. your carbon footprint through dietary and lifestyle choices.
  63. UH,
  64. firstly, research questions.
  65. Mm.
  66. Firstly,
  67. researchers have shown that reducing your meat intake is one
  68. of the best way to lower your carbon footprint.
  69. With a rising global middle class, societies are becoming meat obsessed.
  70. Nowhere else is this more prevalent than rich nations, whose appetite for beef,
  71. pork and process chicken have reached a tipping point.
  72. Heavy diet and meet increases.
  73. The risk of obesity, cancer and heart disease is the livestock sector.
  74. Raising cows,
  75. pigs and chickens generates as much greenhouse gas emissions as all cars,
  76. trucks and autumn violence combined.
  77. I'm not advocating that everyone should adopt a meatless die tomorrow.
  78. But we all must develop meet conscious
  79. ness and reduce the level of meat in our diets.
  80. Okay.
  81. Firstly, firstly,
  82. researchers have shown that reducing your meat intake is one of
  83. the best way to lower your carbon footprint with rising global,
  84. middle class societies are becoming meat obsessed.
  85. Nowhere else is this more prevalent than rich nations, whose appetite for beef,
  86. pork and processed chicken have reached a tipping point.
  87. Heavy died in meat increases.
  88. The risk of obesity, cancer and heart disease is the livestock sector.
  89. Raising cows,
  90. pigs and chickens generates as much greenhouse gas emissions as all the cars,
  91. trucks and automobiles make.
  92. I am not advocating that everyone should adopt a meatless dying tomorrow,
  93. but we all must have loved meat consciousness and
  94. reduce the level of meat in our tights.
  95. Yes,
  96. yeah.
  97. Secondly, cutting back on dairy products, including milk cheese,
  98. is another way to reduce their carbon foot read.
  99. The daily supply chain sector is a major contribute to greenhouse gas emissions.
  100. Agricultural inputs such as fertilisers,
  101. fossil fuel for production of feed and father for animals,
  102. processing of concentration cattle feed plants, a centric fermentation.
  103. Zeman your management and post farm gate activities such
  104. as processing of milk and dairy cooperative societies,
  105. milk unions,
  106. its conversion into where your smell products and
  107. the distribution through the retail supply chains.
  108. Therefore,
  109. it is important to consider all activities involved in the dairy supply chain
  110. and measure carbon footprint of myth.
  111. Maintain emitted from a century foundation is the major hotspot,
  112. contributing up to 75% of the total greenhouse gases of dairy sector.
  113. Mhm
  114. problem.
  115. Totally growing your own Produce and purchasing local food in a
  116. community garden or your backward backyard is associated with numerous benefits,
  117. including reduced dress, better diet quality and improved emotional wealthy
  118. cultivating plot of land no matter the size,
  119. can reduce your carbon footprint as well.
  120. That's because growing fruits and vegetables
  121. reduces your use of plastic packaging,
  122. and your dependency on producing and
  123. composting may further reduce your environmental impact.
  124. Supporting local farmers is a great way to reduce your carbon footprint.
  125. Buying locally lowers your your dependence on food transport advice distances
  126. and may increase your intake of fresh fruits and vegetables.
  127. Helping offset your carbon emissions.
  128. Eating seasonal foods and supporting organic growers are additional ways
  129. to minimise your footwear.
  130. That's because food produced out of season is typically imported or
  131. takes more energy to grow due to the need for heated
  132. greenhouses.
  133. Eating more plant based protein can
  134. dramatically cut your greenhouse gas emission.
  135. In one study,
  136. people with the lowest greenhouse gas and mission
  137. has the highest intake of plant based protein,
  138. including lagoons, nuts and seeds, and the lowest intake of animal proteins.
  139. Adopting a plant based vegetarian diet even if the uh,
  140. vegetarian food is transported over very long distances,
  141. thus far more to reduce greenhouse gas emissions than does eating
  142. a locally grown diet of animal based products in India,
  143. consuming less dairy products and rice would contribute to a low carbon diet.
  144. Okay,
  145. revolutionising your diet is an excellent way to reduce your
  146. carbon footprint that can boost your health as well as
  147. different food, produce different amounts of greenhouse gas.
  148. So it makes sense that changing your diet can
  149. have a positive impact on our carbon footprint.
  150. Keep in mind that efforts that seem small can make a big difference.
  151. You can even bring your neighbours and friends alone for the right
