Tag: Greenhouse gas

Globally, the UN estimates livestock farming accounts for over 14% of man-made greenhouse gases, which includes methane. This often sparks the question: does meat have methane inside it? The answer is no, but the complex process by which livestock contributes to these atmospheric gases is crucial to understanding the full picture.

While no food is packaged with methane gas, the food we produce and consume is a major source of global methane emissions, accounting for up to 33% of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. This gas comes not from the food itself, but from its journey from farm to table and how our bodies process it.
