Food
Key figures
The food industry is responsible for over 30% of French greenhouse gas emissions.
Over the last 50 years, French consumption of meat products has increased by 78%.
In the world today, 1/3 of all food is lost or wasted somewhere along the food chain.
What you can do right now
It takes the same amount of CO2 to produce 6 kilos of chicken as it does to produce a single kilo of beef: your choice of meat counts!
20kg of food is wasted in restaurants per person per year: use a doggy-bag!
A virtuous circle of daily action
