Food systems contribute one-third of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, roughly 16.5 GtCO2e year−1from a total 54 GtCO2e year−11,2, with both pre- and post-production phases representing a high and increasing share of total emissions3. The Food and Agriculture Organizati...
To link GDP growth with greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, we first relate GDP per capita to energy consumption per capita and then relate energy consumption per capita to GHG emissions per capita. For this, we combine GDP data from the World Development Indicators with data from the Energy Infor...
