Abstract

This policy brief provides a model-based analysis of the effects of dietary change on agricultural greenhouse gas emissions in Ireland and Denmark showing that reduced consumption of animal-source foods can contribute to meeting climate targets.

The MACSUR SciPol knowledge forum is a pilot exercise initiated by the Joint Programming Initiative for Agriculture, Food Security and Climate Change (FACCE JPI) to bring science and policy actors together for the strategic design of climate change adaptation and mitigation solutions in the agri-food sector in Europe. This policy brief contributes to this mission by providing evidence-based information to policy for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050, adapting to climate change and understanding synergies and trade-offs
in achieving these targets.
