This study maps the U.S. agri-food distribution onto real-world highways, railways and waterways to quantify the trade-offs between cost, carbon emissions, and path redundancy across different transport modes. It finds that highways cost three times as much, produce 60 times more carbon and have the highest path redundancy relative to waterways. 

This study claims that U.S. grass-fed beef is not less carbon-intensive than industrial beef, even with maximal credit for carbon sequestration. It also argues grass-fed beef is also 3-40 times more carbon intensive than most plant and animal alternatives.

This study reviews Life Cycle Analyses (LCA) on reusable food packaging and critically assesses the quality of the LCA methodology. It provides a framework for good practice for more clarity and consistency in LCAs comparing reusable vs single-use packaging. 

Authors developed a model that identified food combinations for environmental and nutritional goals. Using US-specific data of 2,500 food items, various diets offer 700 minutes of healthy life gained per week while reducing climate impacts by a factor of seven.
