New Study Maps Urban Meat Consumption Carbon Footprints Across U.S. Cities

Researchers have developed the first comprehensive mapping of meat-related carbon emissions across American urban centers. The study connects consumption patterns to production impacts, revealing surprising geographic variations in environmental footprints.

Urban Carbon Footprints Linked to Meat Supply Chains

According to a groundbreaking study published in Nature Climate Change, the environmental impact of urban meat consumption extends far beyond city boundaries, with significant implications for climate policy. Researchers have quantified what they term the “carbon hoofprint” of 3,531 U.S. cities, revealing how geography and production practices in livestock supply chains shape urban sustainability profiles.
