Food Security
1 reportFood Security is a sustainability solution evaluated through environmental performance, cost, durability, and system-wide tradeoffs. Evaluation relies on intervention mechanism, emissions impact, and scalability, including the costs, limitations, and tradeoffs hidden by a single headline metric.
A detailed treatment of Food Security follows performance at scale, while also considering environmental performance and intervention mechanism. Interpretation of environmental performance depends on the agreement between field trials and life-cycle assessments; the strongest interpretation still recognizes that benefits can shift when supply chains, rebound effects, and local conditions are included.
