Milk, in turn, has high greenhouse gas emissions because of the methane produced by cows’ digestive systems. Sometimes it is left out of statistics, or reported separately as LULUCF – Land Use, Land Use Change, and Forestry. It’s this loss of forests that drives up the climate footprint of cocoa. So what are we talking about?
