The land footprint of food

Source: ourworldindata.org/environmenta...
by @EurCorrespond
An infographic titled “The land footprint of food” comparing how much land area in square meters is required to produce one kilogram of different foods. The graphic uses a perspective scene divided into two halves, with animal based foods on the left and plant based foods on the right, each illustrated with small icons like cows, sheep, trees, crops, and a tractor casting long shadows across a green field. On the left, animal products occupy much larger areas, with beef shown as the most land intensive at the top, followed by lamb, cheese, and pork, then poultry, eggs, and milk, each requiring progressively less land but still far more than plant foods. On the right, plant based foods are shown using significantly smaller plots, including grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts, with items like wheat, potatoes, and apples requiring comparatively little land per kilogram. The visual contrast emphasizes that producing animal based foods generally uses far more land than plant based foods, with the scale of the plots shrinking dramatically from left to right. A small note cites data from studies on global food systems and environmental impact.

How high is South America, part 2? The Andes run through three of these six countries, yet in all six the most common elevation is 200 meters or less.

One country per post, north to south. Data: AWS Terrain Tiles

A new @pnas.org Special Feature examines how advances in data science are improving our understanding of climate change and its effects on human populations, health, and well-being.

SPECIAL FEATURE A Multi-Scale Assessment of Climate Change, Population, Health, and Justice The Special Feature titled A Multi-Scale Assessment of Climate Change, Population, Health, and Justice examines how advances in data science are transforming our understanding of climate change and its effects on human populations, health, and well-being. Integrating geospatial data, demographic research, and socioecological approaches, the collection explores how environmental change shapes human vulnerability, behavior, and adaptation across populations and geographic scales. Addressing challenges ranging from extreme heat and food insecurity to reproductive health, demographic change, and climate justice, these studies demonstrate how interdisciplinary research can inform responses to climate change that are more effective, more equitable, and more firmly grounded in evidence.

Day 3: Polygons - Park and Open Space Polygons in Aurora Colorado.

Restricting myself to just the city of Aurora, has been fascinating. It has helped me learn about the city it's self, what resources exists within city limits and where they are located.

#30DayMapChallenge #GISChat On the 16th, The challenge for that day is collaboration. I was wondering if anyone would want to collaborate with me? I was thinking of having someone take one of my maps that I made and remixing or changing the design or layout of the map I made.

Thoughts?
