The city plans to reduce carbon emissions in its food purchases across government agencies by 33% by 2030, Mayor Eric Adams announced Monday, while releasing a report showing household food consumption makes up 20% of the Big Apple’s greenhouse gas emissions.

The annual report, called the “Inventory of New York City Greenhouse Gas Emissions,” revealed that food consumption is the third largest contributor to the city’s greenhouse gas emissions. It came behind buildings, which accounted for 34%, and transportation, making up 22%, according to City Hall.
