Climate change food calculator: What's your diet's carbon footprint?

"Avoiding meat and dairy products is one of the biggest ways to reduce your environmental impact, according to recent scientific studies.


Switching to a plant-based diet can help fight climate change, according to a major report by the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), which says the West's high consumption of meat and dairy is fuelling global warming.


But what is the difference between beef and chicken? Does a bowl of rice produce more climate warming greenhouse gases than a plate of chips? Is wine more environmentally friendly than beer?


To find out the climate impact of what you eat and drink, choose from one of the 34 items in our calculator and pick how often you have it."
