Evaluating the carbon impact of your project is easy… …if you count what matters

What matters? …things that change

Where are the figures? …the Food Route Map How do I calculate? …keep it simple

What matters? …things that change …things that change

Where are the figures? …growing your own food Action

Reduction in emissions

A very2 productive, well managed standard 200m allotment saves

240 kgCO2e /year

A standard allotment with a less experienced grower saves

120 kgCO2e /year

A very productive, well managed vegetable garden saves A vegetable garden with a less experienced grower saves A person completely self sufficient in fruit and vegetables (no exotics like bananas etc!) all year round saves

1.2 kgCO2e/m2/year 0.6 kgCO2e/m2/year 480 kgCO2e/year

Where are the figures? …low carbon menu Action Eating ‘meat free’ an extra 1 day a week for a year saves Eating a vegetarian (meat-free) diet saves Eating a vegan (no animal products) diet saves

Reduction in emissions 180 kgCO2e/person/year 720 kgCO2e/person/year 1,040 kgCO2e/person/year

Eating an all-organic diet saves (100% organic means all food and drink)

230 kgCO2e/person/year

Eating mainly (60%) organic food saves Eating partially (20%) organic food saves

140 kgCO2e/person/year 50 kgCO2e/person/year

Eating no air freighted food saves Reducing consumption of imported food (all modes) by 50% saves Eating only UK food saves

34 kgCO2e/person/year 76 kgCO2e/person/year 151 kgCO2e/person/year

How do I calculate? …keep it simple What’s changing? By how much?

Growing more veg in gardens 2 2,000 m

CO2 saving

0.6kg CO2/m2/year

Total CO2 saving

1,200 kg per year

How do I calculate? …state assumptions!

• Counting new veg growing only • 100 gardeners, each veg plot average 20m2

• Not experienced gardeners, so 0.6kg CO2/m /year chosen 2

Getting a bit more sophisticated…

• Short term drop off - reduce by x% • Long term - stickiness? growth? • Other impacts, eg travel - add carbon costs

• Food Route Map Annex
