The biggest energy expenditure and as a result CO2 emission source per person is food?
Do you have a source for this claim?
All I have read until now points to a majority of individual emissions associated with vehicle emissions and Energy usage for Heating/Cooling houses/offices. I am all for a vegetarian lifestyle for animal welfare sake but I feel this focus on Agricultural emissions is misleading or at least misreported.
I think people get confused because of double-counting.
If you move a load of produce in a truck, do the truck emmissions get counted as "transport" or "agriculture"? I guess depending on your angle, you could say either.
