Pork belly cuts better for environment than beef steak
This is the first time that results of scientific life cycle assessment (LCA) studies of animal products are compared based on aspects of environmental friendliness.
The global warming potential of a kilo of pork varies from 3.9 to 10 kilos of CO2-equivalents; that of a kilo of chicken from 3.7 to 6.9 kilos. The impact of beef on the environment lies between 14 and 32 kilos of CO2-equivalents. The production of a kilo of beef also requires a bigger land area and more fossil energy. Studies into chicken and pork have shown that chicken scores just a little better than pork.
