Uusi tutkimus etsii kokonaisvaltaista käsitystä ruuantuotannon ja maatalouden ilmastovaikutuksista. Helsingin yliopiston johtamassa tutkimuksessa tarkastellaan suoria kasvihuonekaasupäästöjä sekä ilmastoa viilentäviä aerosolihiukkasia. Business Finlandin ja kumppaniyritysten rahoitus hankkeelle on 2 miljoonaa euroa. Ruuantuotannon ilmastovaikutukset ovat merkittävät, joten on tärkeää kehittää ilmastoneutraalia maataloutta ja elintarviketeollisuutta. Maatalouden kasvihuonekaasupäästöjen vaikutukset ilmastoon tunnetaan jo hyvin, mutta ilmakehän pienhiukkasten eli aerosolihiukkasten osuudesta
