Fig. 4: The global 75th percentile for each environmental indicator for every crop representing the extreme impact.
From: The multi-dimensional environmental impact of global crop commodities
Environmental impacts include water debt (WD), GHG emissions (GHG), phosphorus emission freshwater biodiversity loss (PFBL), nitrogen emission marine biodiversity loss (NMBL) and occupational land biodiversity loss (OLBL). Each crop’s extreme impact is compared with the global 75th (red line) and 50th (blue line) percentiles of all crops. The PLANTdex scores are shown in descending order from high (worst) to low (best). PLANTdex scores, located below the crop name, are globally aggregated by the production-weighted average. The percentage, located below the PLANTdex score, represents the crop’s share of the global total production (in tonnes of dry matter) of all the crops considered in this study.
