Key climate takeaways for organic and conventional farming

1. Emissions from land use change and carbon sequestration are an area of concern in the field, regardless of the conclusion.
2. Organic farming is more strictly regulated: Accountability, hence more resources in organic practices result in more precise operations [14].
3. On the consumer side, the carbon footprint of organic diets may be lower but the reason is even more interesting than the result itself! Organic shoppers tend to consume types of food with a lower climate footprint – A study showed that the conventional diet in 4. Germany included 45% more meat than the organic diet [9].
4.On that note, as always, what type of food eat matters most to your climate footprint than the different variations of a type.
