Cutting meat production and consumption by 30 percent would help to reduce carbon emissions and improve health in the most meat-loving nations, scientists said .
科學(xué)家稱,如果將最愛(ài)食肉國(guó)家的肉類生產(chǎn)和消費(fèi)量減少30%,那么將有助于減少碳排放和改善人們健康。
Using prediction models, British and Australian researchers found that improving efficiency, increasing carbon captureand reducing fossil fuel dependence in farming would not be enough to meet emissions targets.
英國(guó)和澳大利亞的研究人員通過(guò)使用預(yù)測(cè)模型進(jìn)行研究后發(fā)現(xiàn),僅靠提高能源使用率、增加碳收集以及降低農(nóng)業(yè)對(duì)礦物燃料的依賴還不足以實(shí)現(xiàn)減排目標(biāo)。
But combining these steps with a 30 percent reduction in livestock production in major meat-producing nations and a similar cut in meat-eating, would lead to "substantial population health benefits" and cut emissions, they said.
但研究人員稱,如果在此基礎(chǔ)上將肉類主要生產(chǎn)國(guó)的家畜產(chǎn)量和肉類消費(fèi)分別降低30%,則可“極大增進(jìn)人們的健康”,同時(shí)減少碳排放。
