Modeling study shows reduced livestock intake cuts heart disease in urban populations, highlighting the dual benefits of climate-focused agricultural reforms.

Key Points

To assess strategies in the agricultural sector for meeting greenhouse-gas emission reduction targets and to model the co-benefits of reduced livestock product consumption on ischaemic heart disease burden.
Evaluated agricultural technological improvements and production targets required to meet the UK Committee on Climate Change goal of an 80% emissions reduction by 2050 (50% by 2030).
Modelled case studies for the United Kingdom and São Paulo city assuming a 30% reduction in livestock production.
Estimated the impact of reduced saturated fat intake on ischaemic heart disease burden measured in disability-adjusted life-years (DALYs).
Meeting emission reduction targets required combining agricultural technological improvements with a 30% reduction in livestock production.
Reduced livestock consumption was modeled to decrease the burden of ischaemic heart disease by about 15% in the UK, saving 2850 DALYs per million population in 1 year.
In São Paulo city, ischaemic heart disease burden was projected to decrease by 16%, equivalent to 2180 DALYs per million population in 1 year.
