The environmental footprint of global food production

The published paper and code are available on-line.

We quantified pressures resulting from food production (cover 99% of food produced) including greenhouse gas emissions, freshwater use, nutrient pollution, and spatial disturbance. We then created a cumulative index to identify hotspots and relative efficiencies in production between sectors and locations.
