However there are other factors. “Spanish tomatoes may use less fossil fuel-based energy but the yield per hectare is lower, so it takes more land to grow the same amount of food; land that could be habitat for wildlife.” Pacheco, L.

But then finishes saying "do the best you can, really". Which sounds great, but it's such a small amount compared to the rest of the book that the shame is already there and pervasive. I have a garden, I try to recycle everything, etc. But I am one person with a full time job, carer for a parent, etc. and yes, I could do more but I'm utterly mentally exhausted most of the time. But now I feel like crap because I know I can do better apparently. In the UK we eat seven million tonnes of potatoes annually, most of which are grown domestically, and many of these in East Anglia, where soil degradation is a serious issue. “It is estimated that the peat in the Fens is eroding at an average rate of 2cm per year.” Avocados contain lutein and zeaxanthin, two phytochemicals present in eye tissue.

According to the University of Lancaster it is about 1.6kg of carbon dioxide equivalent per kg. This is a lot less than Scottish beef (18kg CO2e per kg) but a lot more than a Scottish potato (0.3kg CO2e per kg). Generally, fruit and vegetables have a lower carbon footprint because it takes a lot less energy to grow a plant than to raise an animal. However, if the vegetables have been flown in by air freight, such as asparagus from Peru (18kg CO2e per kg), it can be up there with steak. A vegan diet generally has a lower carbon footprint, unless you are living off exotic fruits and vegetables flown in from abroad. And even on the food miles front, the story isn’t clear-cut.
