“It’s like publishing a 1.5°C roadmap for the energy sector that ignores the need to scale back fossil fuels.” - Cleo Verkuijl

At COP28 the FAO published a global roadmap for food systems. This thread gives a good overview of its limitations - in particular the FAO ignores the potential of alternative proteins to transform global food systems

Great to see the Guardian's coverage of our Nature Food piece today, discussing extremely concerning gaps in the FAO's 1.5°C roadmap for food systems: doi.org/10.1038/s43016…

Our new report offers much needed clarity on a key question – what role should the livestock sector play in meeting the Paris Agreement?
