   A number of studies have suggested that addressing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agricultural

   production, or ‘supply-side emissions’, will be insufficient to reduce agri-food sector GHG emissions to limit

   the increase of global temperatures to well below 2o

   C. Recent studies have also suggested that ‘demandside

   measures’ related to food consumption, food value chains, and food loss and waste, will be necessary

   to reduce emissions and may have a larger technical mitigation potential than supply-side measures.
