Transport 2000's
Wise Moves: exploring the relationship between
food, transport and carbon dioxide showed that the UK's 'food
chain' (cultivation, transportation and sales) has been estimated
to account for 22% of the country's greenhouse gas emissions,
but warned that this was almost certainly a gross underestimate:
-
Official Government figures only included the portions
of international food journeys by UK companies which took
place on UK roads
-
Food journeys by air and ship were not attributed to any
country for the same reason, i.e. occurring in international
waters/airspace
