They found that the industry could reduce its emissions, but only if the livestock the UK produces, and the meat the nation【C2】______, drops by 30 per cent Farms must also optimise(最优化)their energy【C3】______by, for example, capturing carbon in animal waste.

The effect would not be limited to rich nations. The team found that Brazil could【C6】______the same health benefits.

The savings could be【C7】______higher if reduced death rates from cancer and obesity had been included, he adds.
