1/5) Out now @NatureFoodJnl : Integrating #degrowth and efficiency perspectives enables an emission-neutral #food system by 2100 nature.com/articles/s4301…
* First quantification of food system degrowth proposals
* Comparison with GHG pricing

* shift to sufficient, healthy and sustainable diets leads to large emission reductions, even larger than pricing greenhouse gases in the food system
