If this effort reduces methane emissions in any meaningful way then it's useful.
- polski-g 3y agoAre there computations for calories-produced per GWP? How does beef fare compared to something like turkey?

I think it's all about the methane, for which cattle are notorious.
- hnhg 3y agoThere is a lot to explore here (emissions per calorie, protein content, etc): https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/ghg-kcal-poore https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/ghg-kcal-poore
