Per Capita Baseline Food Consumption Impacts for U.S.

FEW impact Units Estimation category FCI
Land m2<sup><sup>year1 Mean 2,016
GHG kgCO2e<sup><sup>year1 Mean 750
Water L<sup><sup>year1 Mean 376,900

The land and water FCIs are rounded up based on four significant digits, whereas the GHG FCI is rounded up based on three significant digits. These FCIs represent cradle-to-farm-gate activities and not the entire food life cycle.

FCI, food consumption impact.
