Greenhouse gas emissions
Agriculture accounts for 19%–29% of total global
anthropogenic GHG emissions.
Of this, the production stage contributes 80%–86% of
emissions at the global level

Purchase weights of foods
>240,000 participants
Sturm et al. 2013
• An increase in the ratio of fruit and vegetables to total food
expenditure by 5.7% - 8.5% (dependent on subsidy);
• and a decrease in the ratio of less desirable to total food
expenditure by 5.6% - 7.2%
Healthy Food Purchases
Preliminary Results of Purchase Weights
Preliminary Results of Purchase Weights
• 16% decrease in the proportion of beef purchase weight;
• 10% decrease in the proportion of pork purchase weight;
• 5.4% increase in proportional vegetable purchases;
• 8.8% increase in proportional fruit purchase weight;
• ~8 - 13% decrease in land requirements
• ~7 - 12% decrease in water footprint
• ~8 - 10% decrease in greenhouse gas emissions
