Landbouw Europa stoot meer broeikasgassen uit
En toch blijft de veeteelt zwaar gesubsidieerd worden, met ons belastinggeld…
️ De Europese landbouw stoot steeds meer broeikasgassen uit, waardoor de dalende trend omgekeerd wordt.
QUOTE:
“What is undeniable is that greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture are rising, reversing years of declines, according to European Union data.
Farming accounts for about 10 percent of Europe’s greenhouse gas emissions. A significant share of the emissions comes from farm animals that digest their feed and burp out methane, a potent greenhouse gas. Fertilizers contribute by releasing nitrous oxide. And decaying manure releases methane and ammonia.
Some subsidies, like those that directly support livestock farming, are making things worse”
