Landbrugets påvirkning af miljøet i industrialiserede lande resulterer i forurening af vand og jord, udledning
af drivhusgasser og begrænsning af levesteder for både dyr og planter.
Kvælstof, som udledes til vandmiljøet, kan forårsage iltmangel og fiskedød. Udvaskning af nitrat kan være
sundhedsskadeligt, hvis det ender i vores grundvand. Begge eksempler er resultater af et overforbrug af
gylle og kunstgødning på landbrugsjordene. Forkert brug af gylle og kunstgødning kan også resultere i, at
næringsstofferne fordamper og ender i atmosfæren. Ifølge Ministeriet for Fødevarer, Landbrug og Fiskeri står
landbruget i Danmark for 16% af landets samlede udledning af drivhusgasser – og så har ministeriet ikke
medregnet klimapåvirkningen fra produktion af sojafoder, kunstgødning og andre hjælpestoffer.
Stor efterspørgsel af kødprodukter – og dermed foder til dyr – kræver øget foderproduktion, hvilket resulterer
i rydning af regnskov og andre naturområder, når områderne inddrages til landbrugsjord. Konsekvensen
er tab af biodiversitet og reduceret lagring af CO2, som derfor ender i atmosfæren. Det skønnes, at alene
det danske landbrugs efterspørgsel efter foderproteiner giver anledning til udledning af drivhusgasser i en
mængde, der svarer til udledningerne fra over 80% af de danske personbiler.

Landbrugets påvirkning af miljøet i industrialiserede lande resulterer i forurening af vand og jord, udledning
af drivhusgasser og begrænsning af levesteder for både dyr og planter.
Kvælstof, som udledes til vandmiljøet, kan forårsage iltmangel og fiskedød. Udvaskning af nitrat kan være
sundhedsskadeligt, hvis det ender i vores grundvand. Begge eksempler er resultater af et overforbrug af
gylle og kunstgødning på landbrugsjordene. Forkert brug af gylle og kunstgødning kan også resultere i, at
næringsstofferne fordamper og ender i atmosfæren. Ifølge Ministeriet for Fødevarer, Landbrug og Fiskeri står
landbruget i Danmark for 16% af landets samlede udledning af drivhusgasser – og så har ministeriet ikke
medregnet klimapåvirkningen fra produktion af sojafoder, kunstgødning og andre hjælpestoffer.
Stor efterspørgsel af kødprodukter – og dermed foder til dyr – kræver øget foderproduktion, hvilket resulterer
i rydning af regnskov og andre naturområder, når områderne inddrages til landbrugsjord. Konsekvensen
er tab af biodiversitet og reduceret lagring af CO2, som derfor ender i atmosfæren. Det skønnes, at alene
det danske landbrugs efterspørgsel efter foderproteiner giver anledning til udledning af drivhusgasser i en
mængde, der svarer til udledningerne fra over 80% af de danske personbiler.

Landbrugets påvirkning af miljøet i industrialiserede lande resulterer i forurening af vand og jord, udledning
af drivhusgasser og begrænsning af levesteder for både dyr og planter.
Kvælstof, som udledes til vandmiljøet, kan forårsage iltmangel og fiskedød. Udvaskning af nitrat kan være
sundhedsskadeligt, hvis det ender i vores grundvand. Begge eksempler er resultater af et overforbrug af
gylle og kunstgødning på landbrugsjordene. Forkert brug af gylle og kunstgødning kan også resultere i, at
næringsstofferne fordamper og ender i atmosfæren. Ifølge Ministeriet for Fødevarer, Landbrug og Fiskeri står
landbruget i Danmark for 16% af landets samlede udledning af drivhusgasser – og så har ministeriet ikke
medregnet klimapåvirkningen fra produktion af sojafoder, kunstgødning og andre hjælpestoffer.
Stor efterspørgsel af kødprodukter – og dermed foder til dyr – kræver øget foderproduktion, hvilket resulterer
i rydning af regnskov og andre naturområder, når områderne inddrages til landbrugsjord. Konsekvensen
er tab af biodiversitet og reduceret lagring af CO2, som derfor ender i atmosfæren. Det skønnes, at alene
det danske landbrugs efterspørgsel efter foderproteiner giver anledning til udledning af drivhusgasser i en
mængde, der svarer til udledningerne fra over 80% af de danske personbiler.
