That’s because food production, processing and distribution accounts for some 25% of all GHG emissions worldwide – and that figure rises to 33% when food waste is included in the equation. Climate change might be the headline consequence of food production, but it’s ...

In addition, consumer perceptions of packaging waste often dominate conversations about the environmental impact of meal kit services (Stein, 2017); however, a full life cycle perspective that takes into account the entire food supply chain is required to understand the actual impact of these ...
Environmental Impact of Agro-Food Industry and Food Consumption covers trends associated with the impact of food production on the environment using lifecycle analysis and the standard methods used to estimate the food industry’s environmental impact. The book discusses city-scale actions to estimate ...
Importantly, the cumulative pressure per unit of food production (efficiency) varies spatially for each food type such that rankings of foods by efficiency differ sharply among countries. These disparities provide the foundation for efforts to steer consumption towards lower-impact foods and ultimately ...
The Environmental Impacts of Food Production Food and agriculture have a significant impact on our planet, particularly in terms of carbon emissions, water withdrawals, and land use. To visualize how different food items contribute to this environmental impact, the above graphic ranks foods based on...
Thus the bulk of the growth in meat is predicted to occur in developing countries, with China, India and Brazil already representing two thirds of current meat production.ScollanMoranScollan, N., Moran, D., Kim, E. J., & Thomas, C. (2010). The environmental impact of meat production ...
Fig. 1: Specific methods and thought of shock-impact-response framework. The left panel shows the simulation of country-level change in food production and supply, the middle panel shows the estimated environmental impacts of type-specific food shortage, the right panel aims to optimize the food...
The Assessment phase has been conducted using Ecoindicator 99, a damage-oriented method, which analyses the impact according to three large damage categories, each of them subsuming various impact categories. 展开 关键词: data analysis, nutrition ecology, food production, environmental impact, Eco...
of global crop production by 71%, 87%, and 100%, respectively, assuming high-input farming on newly established sites. The optimal global distribution of crops is largely similar for current and end-of-century climatic conditions across emission scenarios. Substantial impact reductions could already...
