Cutting meat production and consumption by 30 percent would help to reduce carbon emissions and improve health in the most meat-loving nations, scientists said .
科学家称,如果将最爱食肉国家的肉类生产和消费量减少30%,那么将有助于减少碳排放和改善人们健康。
Using prediction models, British and Australian researchers found that improving efficiency, increasing carbon captureand reducing fossil fuel dependence in farming would not be enough to meet emissions targets.
英国和澳大利亚的研究人员通过使用预测模型进行研究后发现,仅靠提高能源使用率、增加碳收集以及降低农业对矿物燃料的依赖还不足以实现减排目标。
But combining these steps with a 30 percent reduction in livestock production in major meat-producing nations and a similar cut in meat-eating, would lead to "substantial population health benefits" and cut emissions, they said.
但研究人员称,如果在此基础上将肉类主要生产国的家畜产量和肉类消费分别降低30%,则可“极大增进人们的健康”,同时减少碳排放。
