<p>Tofu has a carbon footprint roughly a third of that of chicken. Demand for soy is driving deforestation, but that’s because around 70 percent of global soy production is fed to livestock, while only seven percent is made for human consumption. Feed is one of the biggest contributors to meat’s high carbon footprint because of the huge land-use change for cattle—grazing and the growing of soy for feed.</p>

<p>Soured cream (about 6,850 carbon calories per kg) has a carbon footprint almost three times higher than yogurt (about 2,320 carbon calories per kg). This is because it’s a combination of both cream and milk (which also gives it a higher percentage of fat), therefore more milk is needed for the same amount of end product, similar to Greek yogurt. Opt for natural yogurt instead, which is a good source of probiotics.</p>

<p>Mussels are a very sustainable source of seafood. They only have 3,800 carbon calories, almost six times less than the footprint of prawns – one of the least sustainable seafood sources.</p>
<p>You can check the carbon calories of other foods and products using the free Reewild app.</p>
<p><em>Disclaimer: The carbon footprint scores provided for recipes use open-source data from Agribalyse and Poore and Nemecek (2018), the latter being the largest meta-analysis of food systems to date. These scores are for information purposes only. Readers should be aware of potential inaccuracies due to data limitations and variations in food systems. These carbon scores should be used cautiously, as individual factors may not be fully accounted for, and different branded products may produce differing emissions.</em></p>
