Livestock (especially ruminant livestock) has a higher footprint than plant-based food. However, there also important even within same region. A significant share total "embodied" trade, although considerably less half. In terms evidence gaps, some (e.g. biodiversity, soil carbon) have been studied, are geographic product blind spots. Moreover, existing sufficiently granular. While gaps thus exist, overall picture emerges one rapidly growing base, which can inform innovative chain initiatives to reduce impacts.
