Can We Really Eat Our Way Out of Climate Change? Tune in to this episode with Dr. Frank Mitloehner, professor at UC Davis, to learn about: The global warming potential of methane vs fossil fuels How does agriculture impact global methane emissions? Why should methane be treated differently than “long-lived” greenhouse gasses? What is: carbon sequestering, methane “sinks”, the biogenic carbon cycle and global “cooling”? The carbon footprint of plants compared to animals Some of the problems and concerns with the EAT Lancet report The carbon footprint of food today compared to the past Are plant-based proteins better for the environment? Using manure to generate electricity Frank Mitloehner, Ph.D., is a professor and air quality specialist in cooperative extension in the Department of Animal Science at the University of California, Davis. As such, he shares his knowledge and research with students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, with members of the scientific community and with those who work with and for the critically important agricultural industry, domestically and abroad.
