Integrated assessment of global climate, air pollution and dietary malnutrition and obesity health impacts of food production and consumption between 2014 and 2018

The Stockholm Environment Institute presents a new integrated model that assesses the simultaneous impacts of food production and consumption on greenhouse gas emissions, air pollution, and human health (including malnutrition and obesity) between 2014 and 2018. The model aims to identify strategies that mitigate climate change while improving health, while highlighting potential trade-offs associated with agricultural expansion.

• The authors developed a new model that integrates the assessment of greenhouse gas emissions, air pollutant emissions, and human health risks—both direct (from agricultural emissions) and indirect (from dietary, obesity, and malnutrition risks)—associated with food production and consumption.
• Agriculture is responsible for roughly 10% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions and affects human health via agricultural air pollutant emissions and food consumption.
• Applying the model to the 2014–2018 period indicates that integrated strategies can be designed to simultaneously mitigate climate change and improve human health, although expanding agricultural production may create trade-offs due to increased emissions.
