Greenhouse gas is a type of gas that stops heat escaping from the atmosphere and causes a greenhouse effect - it warms our planet - and that leads to climate change. Greenhouse gas is being caused by pollution from factories and from using containers of things like paint or perfume, which is kept under high pressure so that it can be sprayed - which we call aerosols. But according to a recent report, the product ion of meat is also adding to the problem. Research from Cambridge and Aberdeen universities estimates greenhouse gases from food production will go up 89% if meat and dairy consumption continues to rise at its current rate. The surge in meat eating will drive more deforestation as farmers seek increasing amounts of land. Cutting forests releases greenhouse gases from the wood and the soil, and fertilizers create greenhouse gases too. Under current trends, agriculture alone will cause the world to bust its targets for reducing the risk of dangerous climate change. And another problem is that more of the fields used for growing crops that we eat, like wheat, are being used to grow food to feed the animals that we later eat. Research also found beef cattle need 28 times more land than pork, poultry or dairy farming. Cattle are the biggest source of greenhouse gases, accounting for more than three-quarters of all gases made by farming livestock around the world.
