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.

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.
