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 health pay-off would be 【C4】 ________ : 18,000 fewer people would die prematurely in the UK each year from heart attacks—a(n)【C5】 ________ of 17 per cent—as they would eat less of the fats found in meat.
The effect would not be limited to rich nations. The team found that Brazil could 【C6】 ________ the same health benefits. "We’re not saying go vegetarian, we’re saying reduce how much livestock produce you consume," says Dangour. The savings could be 【C7】 ________ higher if reduced death rates from cancer and obesity had been included, he adds.
Agronomist (农艺学家) Kenneth Cassman of the University of Nebraska warns that cutting production in one region can 【C8】 ________ it elsewhere, causing a rise in global emissions.

选项
答案

解析
此处应为动词。与之并列的produces一词表明家畜的生产,由此可知此处应该表示肉类的“消费”,且下文的produce you consume和production and consumption很好地提示了此处应选consumes,与produces并列。
