Categories Consumption (kg) A food manufacturing company wants to improve the sustainability of its products. The annual consumption by the company is shown in Table A2, along with the unscaled footprint data for each component. Determine the ecological footprint of the company's food products. Equivalence factors are given in Table A3. Table A2: Food consumption and unscaled footprint data (Chambers, N., et al. 2000) Pastureland (m/kg) Energy (m/kg) Cropland (m/kg) Fruit & vegetables 900 0.5 0.6 Bread 800 2.0 2.4 Cheese & butter 300 6.5 200.0 White meat 680 8.0 22 Red meat 450 8.0 300 Table A3: Equivalence factors (from "Ecological footprint calculator: technical background paper" by EPA Victoria, 2005) Component Equivalence Factor Cropland 2.17 Forest 1.35 Permanent pasture 0.47 Built-up land 2.17 Energy land 1.84 Marine (fishing ground) 0.06
