Using the Food Carbon Emissions Calculator, you can calculate the carbon emissions from your food reported above in Kg of CO2e, including major greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide. The calculator breaks down the following:
*Production emissions for the production (cradle to farmgate) and any processing of quantity purchased
*Transport emissions for the transport of quantity purchased: local transport, any ocean transport, and user-defined long-distance truck transport
*Waste emissions for the landfilling of quantity wasted (with typical waste energy recovery)
*Packaging and cooking are not included.
