  • Food in a Warming World the Changing Foods on the British Plate
    FOOD IN A WARMING WORLD THE CHANGING FOODS ON THE BRITISH PLATE Food in a warming world: - The changing foods on the British plate Executive Summary Our climate is changing at an alarming rate, with 2015, 2016 and 2017 confirmed as the three warmest years on record. The international Paris Agreement has been created to limit the greenhouse gas emissions that are causing climate change, and it recognises the breadth of activities that contribute emissions. The role of the food we eat has come into the spotlight in addressing climate change, and it is now evident how much we can all do to help global efforts by adapting our diets. This report takes the example of four iconic, classic UK dishes: chicken tikka masala, fish and chips, ploughman’s lunch, and cawl, Wales’ famous lamb stew. We consider where the ingredients come from and how much the different ingredients contribute to carbon footprint. For comparison, one example result shows that the emissions for the ingredients and preparation of one chicken tikka masala meal are equivalent to boiling a kettle 89 times to make a cup of tea. In doing so, we consider how the footprints of these meals compare to the ‘carbon budget’ we need to have adopted by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement. But the climate and our food is a two-way street. We have identified twenty risks posed by climate change to our classic British dishes, some affecting food production overseas, while others emerging on home shores. Example impacts include lower yields for global commodities like rice and soybeans; heat stress disrupting livestock productivity; warmer, wetter conditions leading to pest invasions and proliferations; and water shortages threatening age-old production regions.
