Environmental Impact of the Production of Mealworms as a Protein Source for Humans – A Life Cycle Assessment (2012, background): “We consider the low LU of mealworms to be particularly important; effects of GHG emissions can be countered by carbon fixation [30], and forest regrowth and afforestation [5,31], depletion of fossil fuels can be countered by usage of alternative sources of energy [32,33], but land availability is fi”
LivestockPlus - The sustainable intensification of forage-based agricultural systems to improve livelihoods and ecosystem services in the tropics * (2015, unknown): “As a consequence, livestock production can have substantial negative effects on the environment, including global warming (Steinfeld et al. 2006a, 2006b; Herrero et al. 2013b), nitrogen (N) pollution (Bouwman et al. 2013), high water use, and contamination of water resources (Herrero et al. 2012).”
Energy Intensity of Agriculture and Food Systems (2011, background): “This may not be true of low-intensity systems that are not reliant on agriculturally produced feedstuffs, although the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (138) predicts a continued transition toward intensive, crop-based animal husbandry.”
Willingness to pay for insect-based food: The role of information and carrier (2019, background): “FAO (2006).”
Dietary greenhouse gas emissions of meat-eaters, fish-eaters, vegetarians and vegans in the UK (2014, background): “There is considerable variation in the amount of GHG emissions related to different food groups, with animal-based products generally having much greater emissions than plant-based products per unit weight (Audsley et al. 2009; Carlsson-Kanyama and Gonzalez 2009; Committee on Climate Change 2010; Go”
The future of the global food system (2010, background): “Livestock production is responsible for a significant but contested fraction of anthropogenic greenhouse emissions (e.g. FAO 2006) and will be required to contribute towards mitigation efforts.”
Vulnerability, Climate change and Livestock - Research Opportunities and Challenges for Poverty Alleviation (2007, background): “A recent FAO report, Livestock’s Long Shadow, focused on the effects of livestock on the environment (Steinfeld et al., 2006).”
Yield gap analysis with local to global relevance—A review (2013, background): “…in demand for energy, grain, and livestock products in these countries due to a rapid rise in purchasing power; and (3) global slowing of crop yield rates of grain (Cassman et al., 2003, 2010; Steinfeld et al., 2006; Royal Society of London, 2009; Brisson et al., 2010; Fischer and Edmeades, 2010).”
Exploring global changes in nitrogen and phosphorus cycles in agriculture induced by livestock production over the 1900–2050 period (2011, unknown): “At present, about 30% of global arable land is used for producing animal feed, probably also involving a similar fraction of fertilizer use (10).”
