TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the health implications of policies aimed at tackling climate change and provided evidence that mitigation strategies can have substantial benefits for both health and climate protection, which offers the possibility of policy choices that are potentially both more cost effective and socially attractive than are those that address these priorities independently.
Journal ArticleDOI
Public health benefits of strategies to reduce greenhouse-gas emissions: food and agriculture
Sharon Friel,Alan D. Dangour,Tara Garnett,Karen Lock,Zaid Chalabi,Ian Roberts,Ainslie J. Butler,Colin D. Butler,Jeff Waage,Anthony J. McMichael,Andy Haines +10 more
TL;DR: It is identified that a combination of agricultural technological improvements and a 30% reduction in livestock production would be needed to meet this target, and the potential benefits of reduced consumption of livestock products on the burden of ischaemic heart disease are modeled.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nutritional quality of organic foods: a systematic review
TL;DR: There is no evidence of a difference in nutrient quality between organically and conventionally produced foodstuffs, and small differences in nutrient content detected are biologically plausible and mostly relate to differences in production methods.
