Production vs. Transportation

In considering the food footprint we see that only a small proportion of the impact is associated with transport of the food, whereas 98% of the footprint is associated with the amount of land and energy that are utilized in growing the food.

Graphs showing footprint produced by food production is 98% land
            only 2% by transportation

3/4 is the result of animal proteins
