Implications of GLP1 Agonist Drugs and Land Use in Achieving Net Zero
The mass rollout of GLP1 agonist drugs is revolutionizing weight and health management, with potential implications for energy systems and climate. Achieving deep net zero will require reevaluating land use for agriculture and energy production, leading to decisions about electrification versus seed crops, feed crops, and the use of land for different types of agriculture. This includes considering the impact on resources such as U.S. corn crop used for fuel and the implications in a mostly electrified world.
