A 2025 report by Klynveld Peat Marwick Goerdeler (KPMG) highlights the staggering environmental cost of feeding the world.
The study reveals that global food production accounts for over one-third of greenhouse gas emissions, with meat and dairy being the largest contributors.
Deforestation, excessive water use, and soil degradation driven by industrial agriculture are accelerating climate change and biodiversity loss.
The report urges governments and businesses to shift toward sustainable farming practices and promote plant-based diets to reduce environmental impact.
Without immediate action, KPMG warns, the global food system will continue to undermine ecological stability and long-term food security.
