Hayashi et al. (2023): Mitigating trade-offs between global food access and net-zero emissions: the potential contribution of direct air carbon capture and storage
Ayami Hayashi, Fuminori Sano, Takashi Homma, Keigo Akimoto IN: Climatic Change 176, 51 (2023). https://doi.org/10.1007/s10584-023-03528-x
The authors analyzed the impact of direct air carbon capture and storage (DACCS) on global food access based on an indicator defined by food expenditure per GDP (gross domestic product). The authors found that the scenario considering DACCS mitigates the adverse impact on food access in regions such as Sub-Saharan Africa compared to the scenario not considering DACCS by alleviating food expenditure increase and GDP loss associated with emission reduction efforts.
