Land footprint and ecological impacts of six American diets

See scientific paper for more details on the methodology. Four datasets "land footprint_total/feed/food/grass.csv" indicate the spatial distribution (country level) of the land footprint (in m2 per year) for six diets of consumers in the United States of America: (aad (standard diet), non-vegetarian, semi-vegetarian, eat (diet recommended by the Lancet), lacto-ovo vegetarian, vegan), and three average diets (meat-rich (aad + non-vegetarian), low-meat (semi-vegetarian + eat), no-meat (lacto-ovo vegetarian + vegan)). _food = for food only (excluding animal products); _feed = for animal feed (corn, sorghum, barley, oat, soybean, wheat) embedded in the consumption of animal products (poultry, beef, pork, milk, eggs); _grass = grass embedded in the consumption of milk and beef.

Four datasets indicate the spatial distribution of ecological impacts associated to the six diets of consumers in the United States of America. _nitrogen indicates the potential for nitrogen fixation (in m2 per year). Three indicators per diet: nitro = all legume crops considered; no.soya = all legume crops excluding soya; soya = only soya considered. _pollination indicates the reliance on pollination (in m2 per year).
