Very interesting, thanks for the analysis!
To me especially Figure 3 is important, it’s insane how much food goes unharvested and how bad animals are at producing food.
Is there also a version that uses kcal instead of tons and that breaks down animal products into meat and vegetarian?
Thank you!
For Figure 3 you have to keep in mind that this is biomass. This does not necessarily mean it could be eaten, as it also includes things like crop residues, which probably make up a good chunk of that arrow.
The paper (https://​​www.sciencedirect.com/​​science/​​article/​​pii/​​S0308521X16302384?via%3Dihub) also includes some other interesting plots, but unfortunately not the ones you would like to see.
