Asia is the largest producer of chicken meat followed by North & South America. Most emissions from chicken meat come from the feed they eat. The provisioning of feed for chickens is a major cost for chicken production. The GHG emissions from cradle-to-retail chicken meat average about 7-10 kgCO 2 e/kg edible weight (EW) But can range from 2.6 up to 20kgCO 2/kg EW for broiler systems. To meet Paris climate targets, Paris needs to go to zero by 2050.
