Pachuari said that "the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has estimated that direct emissions from meat production account for about 18\% of the world's total greenhouse gas emissions," when explaning the reasons behind his comment. "So I want to highlight the fact that among options for mitigating climate change, changing diets is something one should consider." Joyce D'Silva, a spokesperson for Compassion in World Farming agreed with Pachuari. "Surveys show people are anxious about their personal carbon footprints and cutting back on car journeys and so on; but they may not realise that changing what's on their plate could have an even bigger effect," she said in response to the comments made by the UN climate scientist. The National Farmers Union said that people should find ways of environmental farming instead of giving up meat. "The NFU is committed to ensuring farming is part of the solution to climate change, rather than being part of the problem," said a spokesperson for the organisation . "We strongly support research aimed at reducing methane emissions from livestock farming by, for example, changing diets and using anaerobic digestion."
