Foodsteps Methodology


The Foodsteps carbon label helps you understand the impact of your food choices.

In the same way that there is guidance for how many calories, salt and fat we should eat in a day, the same has been calculated for carbon. This carbon budget is measured in kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent per kilo (kg CO2e/kg) or more simply, carbon intensity. The Foodsteps rating system is based on this carbon budget and we've outlined below how the A to E ratings can support more sustainable diet choices.

These rating boundaries are set within the context of the commitment to meet the Paris Agreement pledge - keeping global warming to well below 2°C, aiming for 1.5°C. It includes an A-E Carbon Rating, where A is “Very Low” and E is “Very High.

Eating A-rated items will help you to stay within the EAT-Lancet 2050 global carbon budget for food, established in 2019 to help achieve healthy diets and sustainable food production.

Metodología Foodsteps

La etiqueta de uso de suelo de Foodsteps te ayuda a comprender el impacto que tus elecciones alimentarias tienen sobre la biodiversidad. La expansión de tierras agrícolas reduce el espacio disponible para la naturaleza, siendo un factor clave en la pérdida de biodiversidad a nivel mundial. Para evaluar el impacto de un producto alimentario, Foodsteps se enfoca en las tierras agrícolas utilizadas tanto para producir el producto como para generar los insumos necesarios.


Al igual que existen recomendaciones diarias sobre calorías, sal y grasa, también se ha calculado un límite seguro para el uso de suelo. Este cálculo se basa en la cantidad de cobertura forestal que necesitamos a nivel global para asegurar el buen funcionamiento de los sistemas de la tierra. Un menor uso de tierras agrícolas significa más espacio para los bosques y la biodiversidad. El uso de suelo se mide en metros cuadrados ocupados durante un año por cada kilogramo de alimento producido (m²*año/kg), lo que también se conoce como “intensidad de uso de suelo”.

El sistema de clasificación de Foodsteps utiliza este presupuesto de uso de suelo y ofrece una clasificación de la A a la E para apoyar elecciones alimentarias más sostenibles. La clasificación va desde “Muy Baja” (A) hasta “Muy Alta” (E), donde consumir alimentos clasificados entre A y C te ayudará a mantenerte dentro del límite planetario seguro para el uso global de tierras agrícolas.

How does Foodsteps measure impact?

Our impact assessments are from cradle-to-grave. This means that they include the impact of all life cycle stages of the process of producing and consuming food - farm, processing, packaging, transport, retail, end-mile, cooking and food waste.

At Foodsteps, we use the best data wherever it is available. When data is not available, we use our own models to estimate the impact of some stages.

What are the different life cycle stages, and what do they mean?

There are many different stages within a food item’s life cycle that must be accounted for as emissions sources. We’ve curated an easy to understand list of key terms below.

An illustration of wheat
Farm
Emissions arising from land use change (burning and carbon stock), farming, feed, and on-farm processing.

Processing
Emissions arising from the processing and storage of ingredients.

Packaging
Emissions arising from raw material acquisition, pre-processing, manufacture of packaging, transport to product systems, and end-of-life after disposal.

Transport
Emissions arising from the transport of ingredients between various stages in the life cycle.

Retail
Emissions arising from retail operations, including the impacts of any chilling at retail and apportioned impacts of the retail facility, such as lighting and air conditioning.

End-Mile
Emissions arising from transporting food items from their retail location to where they are consumed. This does not include the transport of the consumer to the retail location.

Cooking
Emissions that arise from food preparation, such as appliance usage.

Food Waste
Emissions arise from product disposal throughout the life cycle by anaerobic digestion, composting, incineration, sewer disposal, and landfilling. This also includes emissions from the production of food lost throughout the supply chain.

FAQs

What standards does Foodsteps align to?

We adhere to the ISO 14040 standard, and are aligned to the GHG Protocol Life Cycle Accounting and Reporting Standard.

What is a carbon footprint?

Carbon footprint is a measurement of the greenhouse gas emissions released during a product’s life cycle. It is measured in “kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalents (kg CO2e)”, to incorporate the relative impact of all types of greenhouse gases.

What is carbon intensity?

Carbon intensity is a measurement of the carbon footprint per kilogram of food (kg CO2e / kg of food). This measurement allows for a fair comparison between products of different serving sizes.

What are the label boundaries based on?
Below 1.81 kg CO₂e/kg
A-rated recipes are also referred to as Very Low carbon impact and have the lowest impact on the planet. These recipes align to the planetary boundaries required to feed the planet sustainably by 2050.
From 1.81 to 2.90 kg CO₂e/kg
B-rated recipes are also referred to as Low carbon impact. Although these recipes are on the pathway to staying within the planetary boundaries, diets with B-rated recipes will ultimately surpass them.
From 2.90 to 4.63 kg CO₂e/kg
C-rated recipes are also referred to as Medium and although they are below the average carbon intensity in our diets today, continuing to eat diets with our current average carbon intensity will mean we surpass the planetary boundaries required.
From 4.63 to 7.50 kg CO₂e/kg
D-rated recipes are also referred to as High and are above the average carbon intensity in our diets. A diet consisting of D-rated recipes will mean we surpass the planetary boundaries required.
From 7.50 kg CO₂e/kg
E-rated recipes are also referred to as Very High and have the highest carbon impact and highest impact on the planet. They are substantially above the average carbon intensity in our diets and a diet consisting of E-rated recipes will mean we significantly surpass the planetary boundaries required.
What do the labels not tell me?

Carbon footprint scores cannot capture the full scope of food sustainability. Other environmental impacts like land use, water use and pollution are also important, as are social impacts such as fair pay and food security.

However, carbon footprint scores can still provide important insights into one of humanity's biggest challenges.
