Kerry: We Must Cut Food Production in Order to Feed Everyone because Science

Let me see if I got this right: Global warming will lead to lower food production and hundreds of millions of people will starve. Food production creates 33% of all greenhouse gas emissions, so we need to cut food production in order to slow down global warming. We need to cut food production so that we can increase food production because science!

John Kerry: “Agriculture contributes about 33% of all the emissions of the world.”

“We can’t get to net zero… unless agriculture is front and centre as part of the solution.”

“You just can’t continue to both warm the planet, while also expecting to feed it… So we have to reduce emissions from the food system.”
