Developing countries requires substantial increase in greenhouse emissions
(WorldNews Environment)

Achieving a nutritious diet with adequate calories in developing countries will require a substantial increase in greenhouse gas emissions and water use, scientists reported Monday, calling on high-income countries to accelerate the adoption of plant-heavy diets. Researchers at Johns Hopkins University developed a model looking at how changes to dietary patterns across 140 countries would impact greenhouse gas emissions and freshwater use at the individual and country-level, publishing their work in the journal Global Environmental Change. They used the model to determine the per capita and countrywide climate and water...
