Part 1. Short Answers.
(1) Around 80% of all farmland is dedicated to meat and dairy production. That’s about the
size of Europe, the US, China, and Australia combined. Meat and dairy typically provide 18%
of our calories, but account for 60% of greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture. 8 - 10%
of all global emissions are due to food loss and food waste. Large-scale meat production is
also a big factor in the loss of the Amazon rainforest.
(2) When cows digest their food, they produce methane, a powerful greenhouse gas that’s
about 28 times more powerful than carbon dioxide over 100 years.
(3) Soya and almond water. Large-scale production of soya can lead to deforestation, and
almond production requires huge amounts of water.

Part 2. Writing questions that could fit the information.

(1) What percentage of farmland in the world is used for meat and dairy production?
(2) How much methane does a cow release on average per year?
Part 3. Discussion topic. Answers will vary.
