This study analyses the biodiversity pressure of fruit and vegetables in the UK, South Africa and India, comparing imported and domestically grown. In all three, imported fruits typically exert greater pressure than domestically grown fruits. Contrastingly, in India and South Africa, imported vegetables generally have a lower biodiversity pressure than domestically grown.
