From the vehiles that are used to plough fields that most food starts from to the planting which is also mechanised to the harvest and then transportation for final product manufacture oils are in use (carbon fuels) and electric which is created by some carbon based processes (not all are renewable energy) Then the actual factory production uses energy final the distribution which will normally require carbon based fuels to be used - each burns off creating particles that enter the atmosphere which in turn cause green house gas effects.

What is a disadvantage of greenhouse gases?
Greenhouse gases have kept the planet comfortably warm for millions of years. This has been an advantage.Now, however, there is an excess of greenhouse gases (mostly carbon dioxide from burning fossil fuels). This extra greenhouse gas is causing an accelerated greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. This is a serious disadvantage!
What is a greenhouse gas that is not carbon dioxide?
Methane, which comes from the stomachs of cattle and sheep, from thawing tundra, from food rotting in landfill and from drilling for oil and mining, is a greenhouse gas that is much more dangerous than carbon dioxide.A:The most prevalent and common greenhouse gas is water vapor, which accounts for up to 75% of all greenhouse warming. Methane accounts for well under 1% of the overall effect.
Is Photosynthesis food production in organisms with chlorophyll?
Yes, photosynthesis produces food in the form of G3P, which can be converted into glucose, which can be used for food.
How much greenhouse gas emitted by bicycles?
Bikes don't emit any greenhouse gases. Unless you want to get really technical and trace the calories that you burn to power the bike back to the carbon footprint of the food they came from.
How can they help in food production?
microbes r very helpful in food production today .it helps in fermentation and produces large amount of yogurt,cheese,alcohols,bread,bun,,brewery industry based upon it.
Does food waste in landfills cause greenhouse gases?
yes
Would the world CO2 decrease and if so by how much if everyone turned vegan?
No. The production of meat has little to do with even the enhanced greenhouse issue. Cattle production is blamed for increase in CH3, not CO2. CH3 is a extremely small producer in all relevant terms of any warming action. Man produces less then .5% of the total annual CH3 production. The loss of this food supply would have no impact on CO2 or greenhouse gas levelsA:Probably. Because forests are often cut down to make way for grazing land, this will mean that there are fewer trees removing CO2 from the atmosphere, so this will have some impact on the overall CO2 level. A:A vegan lifestyle might increase CO2 production as many northern regions have no vegetable crops available during the spring fall and winter. As a consequence food would have to be flown or trucked in producing carbon dioxide emissions. In addition the more intensive agriculture would require higher fertilizer use requiring an increase in manufacturing efforts. A:In 2006 a report by the UN Food and Agriculture Organization found the meat in our diets puts more greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide etc) into the atmosphere than either transportation or industry. Current production levels of meat contribute between 14 and 22% of the 36 billion tons of greenhouse gases emitted every year.Greenhouse gases from beef are 13 times more than the gases for chicken. And 57 times the greenhouse gases from potatoes.The average American's beef diet contributes as much greenhouse gas as a car driven more than 1800 miles (2900 km).
What processes is involve in the food production of plants?
Photosynthesis is the process that produces the food for the plant.
How is the making of tofu better for the environment than the making of meat?
Meat production uses about half of all the fresh water consumed in the US. Livestock produce more greenhouse gases than all the cars in the world. Producing meat takes vast amounts of food. The wastes produced by livestock are a huge environmental pollution problem.Vegetarian food takes less resources to produce and produces less waste as well.

If you dont eat can you belly get larger?
Yes. There is a condition where the stomach digests and produces gases, but since there is no or little food to digest, the stomach produces to much of the gases and the stomach will expand and distend as a result.
What is a major drawback using fossil fuels?
Burning ethanol releases greenhouse gases.
Why are people so concerned about food miles?
Due to pollution that is caused by transport of the goods for example our carbon footprint and greenhouse gases

How can buying food and clothes affect the amount of greenhouse gases released into the environment?
Food and clothing all have a carbon footprint, that is, they all use carbon dioxide from fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in their production, cleaning, packing and transporting. This is why buying locally grown food is better for the environment, and reusing or recycling clothes is the same.
