Diet and food shortage

CLIMATE change, due to production of greenhouse gases, has resulted in crop failures world-wide with a significant drop in cereal, grain and food production. Many countries that traditionally exported surplus grain have severely restricted or even stopped grain export altogether, resulting in higher grain prices.

Intensive livestock production is a major cause of methane production, especially by ruminant livestock such as cattle, sheep and goats, and from massive slurry pits or cesspools releasing methane.
