Top Highlights

  • while diseases associated with poor dietary quality, including coronary heart disease (CHD), type II diabetes, stroke, and colorectal cancers, account for nearly 40% of global mortality
  • agricultural food production emits ∼30% of global greenhouse gasses (GHGs) (3, 4); occupies ∼40% of Earth’s land (5); causes nutrient pollution that profoundly alters ecosystems and water quality (6); and accounts for ∼70% of Earth’s freshwater withdrawals from rivers, reservoirs, and ground wate
  • environmental outcomes—GHG emissions, land use, scarcity-weighted water use (water use multiplied by a constant that scales regionally based on water availability after demand from humans and aquatic ecosystems has been met) (16), and 2 forms of nutrient pollution—acidification and eutrophication
