Key Findings
- The study by the Guangdong Academy of Agricultural Science found that different varieties of flowering Chinese cabbage affect greenhouse gas emissions
- Early-maturing varieties reduced greenhouse gas emissions by 25.6% and 15.3% compared to mid- and late-maturing varieties
- Light-colored and sharp-leafed varieties showed lower global warming potential, making them better for reducing carbon emissions
