本レビューは、畜肉生産が地球温暖化に与える影響をサプライチェーン全体にわたって評価。飼料生産から加工・流通までの各段階でCO2、CH4、N2Oの排出を確認。水資源・土地・生物多様性への影響も分析し、緩和策と政策枠組みを提案している。
English
This critical review assesses the environmental footprint of meat production across the entire supply chain, from feed production to distribution. It identifies significant GHG emissions (CO2, CH4, N2O) at each stage, along with land, water, and biodiversity impacts. Mitigation measures and policy frameworks are discussed to encourage sustainable practices.

📝 gxceed 編集解説 — Why this matters
日本のGX文脈において
日本は食肉消費量が多く、畜産由来のGHG排出削減が課題。本レビューはサプライチェーン全体の排出構造を整理しており、SSBJやScope 3対応の参考となる。ただし、日本独自のデータや制度との連携は弱い。
In the global GX context
Meat production is a significant source of global GHG emissions, yet its inclusion in corporate climate disclosure (e.g., Scope 3 Category 3) is often incomplete. This review provides a comprehensive overview of emission sources across the supply chain, relevant for TCFD/ISSB reporting. However, it lacks quantitative data specific to any region and does not address transition finance or carbon pricing.
👥 読者別の含意
🔬研究者:Provides a broad overview of meat production's environmental impacts, useful for understanding supply chain emission sources.
🏢実務担当者:Can help identify key areas for Scope 3 emission reduction in meat supply chains.
🏛政策担当者:Highlights the need for targeted policies to mitigate agricultural GHG emissions, especially from livestock.
📄 Abstract（原文）
In recent decades, climate change has emerged as a critical concern as global warming is expected to reach the mark of 1.5 degree Celsius. This temperature rise is resulting into severe environmental challenges which has now become a major concern for the sustainability researchers. The increasing demand for meat over the past few decades has accelerated meat production and its impact on the global warming. Deforestation, large-scale water consumption, air and water pollution, and the emission of greenhouse gases are among the most challenging consequences associated with the meat industry. Hence, in the present study, a critical review of the environmental footprints of meat production has been done to assess the severity of its implications. This study covers complete supply chain that includes feed production, livestock rearing, transportation, processing, and distribution. Each of these stages was found to contribute a considerable amount of greenhouse gases, primarily carbon dioxide (CO 2 ), methane (CH 4 ), and nitrous oxide (N 2 O), which are responsible for global warming and climate change. The study also focuses on the impact of meat production on land and water resources, energy utilization, and biodiversity loss, which collectively pose long-term risks to ecological stability. Furthermore, potential mitigation measures and policy frameworks have been discussed to encourage sustainable practices and to minimize the overall environmental burden of the meat production sector.
