Kuinka laskea Water Footprint

Mikä on Water Footprint?

Water footprint measures total fresh water consumed to produce goods. Meat production (especially beef) has a very high water footprint; plant-based foods are generally much lower.

Kaava

Water footprint (L) = (Direct use) + (Indirect agricultural) + (Industrial manufacturing) | 1 beef burger ≈ 2,400 L

Vaiheittainen opas

  4. 4Direct water use (drinking, hygiene) is typically only ~5% of total footprint
