Abstract
Based on Ulrich Becks theories, ‘Risk society’ and ‘The other modernization’ we address what
society we are living in today. We also explain the necessity to reduce GHG emissions significantly
within the next few centuries and reach a Net zero emission before 2050 for the sake of our
biodiversity but not the least for humankind. We highlight the massive GHG emission which
agriculture is responsible for and especially the production of meat. All together the Danish
agriculture makes up for 21% of the Danish total GHG emissions which can be lowered with a change of eating habits.
