The joint analysis also calculated that an initial investment of between $250m and $500m in advancing a plant-rich food system could ultimately catalyse $7bn of public and private finance and create multiplier impacts and new market opportunities.<\/p>\n<p>The study claims emissions savings from plant-rich food production and diets far outpace those on offer from implementing more sustainable production techniques for livestock farming. For example, fresh figures show that investments in plant-rich consumption and production yield 2.5 times the average emissions reductions per $1bn invested than improvements in livestock and crop production, such as methane inhibitors or regenerative agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Shifting to a plant-rich food system represents a spectacular pay-off as a climate investment &#8211; the outsized climate benefits are clear,&#8221; said Tilt Collective CEO, Sarah Lake. &#8220;While we of course need investments in other sectors and food solutions as well, the data is undeniable that investments in plant-rich food systems, and shifting consumption and production patterns, offers exponentially more emissions reductions for the money spent. &#8220;But investment to date is miniscule, with only two per cent of the total funding met today. Greater investment in plant-rich food systems stands to catalyse enormous climate benefits, and be a win-win for nature, human health, and animals.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, investment in a plant-rich food system can also deliver wider benefits that decarbonisation efforts in other sectors struggle to match. For example, switching to more plant rich diets has the potential to save 1,100 square kilometres of water, equivalent to current freshwater withdrawals from the US and China, and deliver $3.4tr in annual health savings by 2050.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, while the current food system uses around 3.8 billion hectares of land, and is currently expected to expand to more than four billion hectares by 2050, a plant-rich food system could release at least 1.6 billion hectares of land by mid-century for carbon storage or increased food production. With fewer livestock, land could also be spared that would help reduce the rate of biodiversity loss by 40 per cent and save between two and four gigatonnes of carbon by 2050, the report calculated.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4362454\/study-plant-rich-food-systems-yield-times-climate-impact-green-energy-projects\">Read more&gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.businessgreen.com\/news\/4362454\/study-plant-rich-food-systems-yield-times-climate-impact-green-energy-projects\">Business Green<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/vaufien\/study-plant-rich-food-systems-could-yield-five-times-the-climate-impact-than-green-energy-projects\/\">Study: Plant-rich food systems could yield five-times the climate impact than green energy projects<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[16195,606,607,608],"class_list":["post-133884","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-plant-rich-food-systems","tag-vau_viikkokatsaus","tag-vauen","tag-vaufien"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133884","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=133884"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/133884\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=133884"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=133884"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=133884"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
