  4. Global Agri. Emissions, 1990-2010 http://faostat3.fao.org/home/index.html#VISUALIZE

  5. 8%-51% Estimates for Emissions by Agriculture http://www.epa.gov/climatechange/ghgemissions/

  6. United Nations:30%

  7. World Watch Institute: 51% http://www.worldwatch.org/files/pdf/Livestock%20and%20Climate%20Change.pdf

  8. Global Emissions by Animal Type, 2000–2010 • Enteric fermentation (b) Manure left on pasture http://www.fao.org/climatechange/36143-0fa4483057747f41c08183b702ec5954e.pdf

  9. Food Miles and Diet • 11% of U.S. agriculture’s GHGs come from transportation, 4% of which is delivery (Retail to consumer). • 83% is from production. • Large diversity in food type GHG-intensity • Dietary shift (veg[etari]an) http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/es702969f

  10. Food Groups GHG Intensity http://psufoodscience.typepad.com/psu_food_science/files/es702969f.pdf

  11. Dietary Mileage • GHG reductions equivalent to driving a year: • 100% local food (never driving) = 1,000 miles • Chicken/fish/eggs > Red Meat/Dairy 1 day a week = 760 miles • Meatless Monday 1 day a week = 1160 miles • No Red Meat & Dairy at all = 5340 miles • 100% Vegetarian = 8,100 miles http://pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.1021/es702969f#
