104793 Scarcity-weighted water use per 1000kcal (Poore & Nemecek, 2018)   Global average scarcity-weighted water use represents freshwater use weighted by local water scarcity. Therefore, these figures place greater weight on food production in areas with high water stress than conventional measures of freshwater withdrawal. This is measured in liters per 1000 kilocalories across food products. 2019-10-08 11:13:34 2023-06-15 05:05:42       Environmental impacts of food (Poore & Nemecek, 2018) 4223 Poore, J., & Nemecek, T.
