The world food industry, from agriculture to the agri-food sector, is responsible for 25 to 30% of greenhouse gas emissions, according to the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. In particular, too few meat industry companies are assessing the impact of their activities on the environment.

For comparison, 23% of petrol, gas and mining companies published this type of report.
