Greenhouse gas emissions and biodiversity are linked as primary environmental metrics used to assess the impact of food systems and dietary patterns, as evidenced by their joint inclusion in modeling frameworks [1] and their shared role as key indicators in environmental impact assessments [2]. Furthermore, both are identified as critical data gaps in current databases like Agribalyse v.3.1.1 [3].

claimThe Agribalyse v.3.1.1 database has limitations, including the absence of soil carbon measurements in greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) data, and a lack of information on biodiversity, phytosanitary product impact, and waste.

claimThe GHGE-Land Use score is considered a strong indicator for assessing the environmental impacts of dietary patterns because greenhouse gas emissions (GHGE) are a commonly accepted indicator and land use changes serve as a good proxy for biodiversity, according to van Dooren and Aiking (2016).

claimThe most common environment-related metrics used in food system modeling include greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water extraction, land use changes that release carbon to the atmosphere, and loss of biodiversity.
