Making food transport data matter
New estimates of the contribution of food system transportation activities to total greenhouse gas emission (GHG) emissions from the food system1 represent an important addition to a growing body of work seeking to estimate the climate impact of the food system. In particular, it adds new estimates on top of food system emissions data published in EDGAR-FOOD2 and FAOSTAT3, to which the new results were compared. In order to be useful, however, it is necessary to clarify which food system transportation activities are being measured across these studies, and to point out the strengths and weaknesses associated with different methods of estimating greenhouse gas emissions from food system transportation activities.
