World's food systems are 'failing us', warn 130 science academies

Ahead of the COP24 conference on climate change in Poland, a report by 130 science academies around the world warns us of a possible global food crisis in the face of climate change.According to the report, emissions from the food industry itself are speeding up climate change and putting crops at greater risk from extreme weather. Improvements in the public health diet, 'climate-smart' systems and a reduction in meat consumption could be beneficial for the environment at large.
