| Abstract: |
| Based on the panel data for 31 provinces from 1990 to 2015, this research aims to explore the dynamic correlation mechanism between the main food consumption species and agricultural greenhouse gas(GHG) emissions by constructing the VAR model. The empirical results showed that the change of food structure had certain correlations with agricultural GHG, with some lagging effects, whereas the degree and direction of the impacts varied with types of the food. Main conclusions are as follows. Firstly, from the direction of the impacts, the response of agricultural GHG to the animal sourced foods such as meat, poultry, and milk and the consumption of plant based foods such as grain, vegetables, and edible vegetable oil are basically in opposite directions, mainly due to the substitution of animal sourced foods for plant based foods. The direction of agricultural GHG′ response to changes in food consumption is alternating positive and negative, tending to be flat over time, mainly due to the characteristics of the convergence of the supply and demand of agricultural products based on "Cobweb Theorem". Secondly, from the perspective of response time, changes in agricultural GHG respond more quickly to the impact of plant based foods, mainly due to the fact that the production cycle of animal sourced food is significantly longer than that of plant based food products. The replacement of animal sourced food with plant based food do reduce GHG emissions to some extent, in the short term (within three or four years), whereas the long term effect is not obvious. The impacts of food changes on agricultural GHG emissions will gradually disappear after the eight or nine years. It shows that the changes in food consumption structure have a lasting impact on agricultural GHG emissions. The task of reducing agricultural GHG cannot be achieved overnight, but requires long term and continuous efforts. Finally, in relation to the degree of impacts, it shows that the biggest contribution to the impact of agricultural GHG is itself, indicating that the agricultural GHG base is so huge that the task of reducing GHG emissions is arduous. Despite the large proportion of GHG emissions caused by meat and poultry food consumption, the changes in agricultural GHG emissions during the study period are not mainly caused by changes in food consumption of meat and poultry, but caused by changes in plant based food consumption. The research results provide a certain basis for reducing agricultural GHG emissions and developing low carbon agriculture under the premise of meeting the food consumption needs of residents. |
