Many people who want to reduce their ecological footprinthave focused on how much energy is expended (and howmany climate-warming greenhouse gases are emitted) intransporting food from its place of production to its place ofsale. The typical grocery store item is shipped by truck, air,and/or sea for many hundreds of miles before reaching theshelves, and this transport consumes oil. This concern over“food-miles” has helped drive the “locavore” movement tobuy and eat locally sourced food.However, food’s transport from producer to retailer, asmeasured by food-miles, is just one source of carbon emissionsin the overall process of producing and delivering food. In2008, environmental scientists Christopher Weber and H. ScottMathews conducted a thorough life-cycle analysis (p. 400) ofU.S. food production and delivery. By filling in the table below,you will get a better idea of how our dietary choices contribute toclimate change. After measuring mass, energy content, and dollar valuefor each…
