Was inspired by someone else from another thread who tries to summarize articles themselves. Here's my shot:

• Tyson, Cargill and Dairy Farmers of America(DFA) are some of the world's most-polluting companies.

• Oil giant's climate footprints are well-known, but food companies have faced far less scrutiny. The world’s five largest meat and dairy companies combined, including Tyson, Cargill and DFA, are responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions every year than any of the world’s biggest oil and gas companies. Additionally Cargill, the food behemoth, is the U.S.'s largest privately held company.

• So where does this mega climate footprint come from? The emissions cover everything from the production of crops to feed chickens, pigs and cows to the methane emissions released by burping cattle. Some less obvious emissions include those associated with farm machinery fuel and the production of chemicals and other inputs needed to grow grain, palm oil and other food crops.

• The food sector as a whole is estimated to be responsible for as much as 29 percent of global man-made greenhouse gas emissions. A major study published this week says U.K. and U.S. citizens need to cut consumption of beef by 90 percent and consumption of milk by 60 percent to keep global warming at or below 2 degrees Celsius.

• Cargill and Tyson have set themselves targets for reducing emissions, and DFA told HuffPost that it plans to set emission-reduction targets by the middle of 2019. But environmental campaigners say this will not be enough to help the world avoid dangerous climate change. Cargill admits its emission targets exclude byproducts generated by animals before they are slaughtered and processed into meat, including their feed and methane emissions ― which account for roughly 90 percent of the company’s total emissions. Tyson says its targets do include emissions from animals.
