Latest Myth-crusher target: Ag effect on greenhouse gases
The American Meat Science Association (AMSA) and the American Meat Institute (AMI) have just launched the fourth installment of seven new myth-crushing videos which aims to set the record straight about myths associated with the environmental impact of meat production.
The video, featuring Judith Capper, Ph.D., associate professor, department of animal sciences, Washington State University, corrects an oft cited-but erroneous quote from a 2006 United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) study claiming: “Livestock are responsible for 18 percent of greenhouses gases, a bigger share than transport.”
