What is the environmental impact of a bread?

Studies have shown that bread is one of the most climate-smart foods. Their climate footprint is roughly the same as leguminous plants and several plant-based food products, something that few people are aware of.

Most of bread's climate impact comes from its ingredients; mainly flour. Our greatest opportunity to reduce environmental impact is to work with our suppliers to find climate-saving measures – one of our priority areas. Transport is often believed to account for a large proportion of the impact, but only accounts for 6% of the climate footprint.
