Well if you’re eating this then you are the part of the system. Here’s how it's affecting when forests are cleared to make room for farms and livestock daily in some part of the world, I guess you know the element carbon which you must have come across in your chemistry textbooks, yes this carbon are released into the atmosphere, which heats up the planet, when cows sheep and goats digest their food, they burn up methane, another greenhouse gas contributing to climate change. Animal manures and rice paddies are also big methane sources. Finally, fossil fuels used to operate on farm machinery, make fertilizers and ship food across the globe, all of which generate emissi...
