Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

Food and agriculture have a significant impact on our planet, particularly in terms of carbon emissions, water withdrawals, and land use.

I'm a biologist and I fully agree with the infographic, unless you have any actual data points that disprove it to share with us.

Huh... Did you even attempt to read what you're citing, or have you just copied the first two Google results?

None of these sources is listing how much each food source contributes to greenhouse emissions - they're just listing how emissions are grouped by category (industry, agriculture, etc). This infographic is a breakdown of the food impact, not a ranking of which industry is got the most emissions - this is quite obvious.

Not eating red meats is the single most impactful change an individual can have on their carbon footprint, it does not mean it's the single most effective change the entire world could make. In fact, the very infographic you're criticizing mentions how much of these emissions come from food production.

Try again.

There are tons of sources that show agriculture and food pale in comparison to the emissions of other sectors.

I'm happy that you could pass Biology, but you failed Statistics. Try again.
