Towards fossil free cities - Emission assessment of food and resources consumption with the FEWprint carbon accounting platform

Pieter Nick ten Caat et al.

Summary: Urbanization leads to concentrated demand for food, energy and water resources, resulting in increased greenhouse gas emissions. The FEW nexus integrative approach offers a potential framework for sustainable resource management in cities, but existing evaluation tools have limitations. This paper introduces FEWprint, an integrated carbon accounting platform that allows for evaluations of urban areas. The platform calculates a consumption-based footprint derived from various resource sectors and can be used to compare emissions between communities.

Local food systems: Reviewing two decades of research

Laura Enthoven et al.

Summary: The impact of local food systems on social, economic, and environmental factors varies depending on the type of supply chain under assessment, with significant differences across product types and countries. It refutes the notion that local food is inherently good and points out the lack of cross-country comparable data hindering the possibility of drawing generalizable conclusions on the benefits and drawbacks of local food systems. Policy-makers are advised to invest in cross-country comparable data collection on local food systems to allow for robust causal analyses on their impacts on society, especially in Europe.

Towards Fossil Free Cities-A Supermarket, Greenhouse & Dwelling Integrated Energy System as an Alternative to District Heating: Amsterdam Case Study

Nick ten Caat et al.

Summary: The study highlights the importance of considering local energy potentials at the city block level by exploring the potential of rooftop greenhouse solar collectors as a renewable alternative to conventional district heating. While solar thermal energy can replace natural gas heating, the significance of lighting on agricultural yields cannot be overlooked.

The carbon footprint of meat and dairy proteins: A practical perspective to guide low carbon footprint dietary choices

R. Gaillac et al.

Summary: The article discusses the significant portion of greenhouse gas emissions from meat and dairy products in the food industry and how to reduce their carbon footprint. By comparing the carbon footprint of different meat and dairy products, a method of reducing carbon emissions by adjusting the diet structure is proposed. The study found that a diet mainly consisting of dairy products only slightly reduces carbon emissions compared to current diets, while a tailored diet including small poultry, eggs, and yogurt can achieve a 50% reduction in carbon footprint globally.

Favoring plant instead of animal protein sources: Legitimation by authority, morality, rationality and story logic

Joop de Boer et al.

Summary: The shift towards a more healthy and sustainable diet is hindered by the persistent preference for meat. Without broad social legitimization aimed at changing social norms, proposals for a diet shift will not be successful. It is necessary to limit animal protein sources and promote plant protein sources as a preferred alternative, with the pace of progress depending on various societal forces.

Does global food trade close the dietary nutrient gap for the world's poorest nations?

Ozge Geyik et al.

Summary: Global food trade facilitates the movement of dietary nutrients between countries, but research shows that it does not substantially improve the nutrient adequacy of most low and lower-middle income countries. Concerns remain around the supply of important nutrients such as vitamin A and B12 in these countries, indicating the need for nutrition-sensitive production and trade policies to enhance global nutrition security.

Global land use changes are four times greater than previously estimated

Karina Winkler et al.

Summary: Quantifying the dynamics of global land use change is crucial for addressing global challenges such as food security, climate change, and biodiversity loss. The unprecedented HILDA+ project reveals that land use change has significantly impacted a large portion of the global land area, with notable geographical variations in processes. Over the period of 1960-2019, afforestation and cropland abandonment were prominent in the Global North, while deforestation and agricultural expansion were more common in the South.

Food systems are responsible for a third of global anthropogenic GHG emissions

M. Crippa et al.

Summary: Data on GHG emissions from the global food system are often scattered and unavailable, but EDGAR-FOOD provides a consistent database from 1990 to 2015. The largest contributions to food-system emissions come from agriculture and supply chain activities, representing 34% of total global GHG emissions.
