How to feed the world amid COVID and climate crises (Deutsche Welle)

January 21, 2021


Deutsche Welle published an article on fighting climate change. The article states that curbing meat consumption is essential in the fight against climate change. But it is a more complicated story in countries that face spiraling food insecurity. 

Deputy division director in EPTD Claudia Ringler stated that while there is “an overconsumption of some meat products in high-income countries,” there is in fact “underconsumption in low-income countries.” Republished in World News Monitor (Austria).
