A new comparison finds organic beef farming emitted nearly twice as much carbon as conventional beef production, although it may outperform conventional methods on other environmental metrics. The discussion notes that beef production accounts for roughly one quarter of global greenhouse gas emissions from food, making it one of the top contributors to climate change. The findings are prompting debate over whether organic labels truly signal lower climate impact.
