Food emissions vary greatly depending on product, though red meats typically have the largest carbon footprints. One kilogram of beef (beef herd) produces an average of 99.48 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent (kg CO2eq), while one kilogram of poultry meat produces les than 10 kg CO2eq. Food production is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide.
