Definition
To the extent possible, this indicator includes emissions from all greenhouse gases and major emission sources for each country. Data sources cover CO2 emissions from energy, cement manufacture, and land-use changes as well as from non-CO2 gases. For a given country, as many as five greenhouse gas data sources may be used (including sector-level data).
Relevance
Greenhouse gas emissions are the main contributor of climate change, and are thus an important indicator of a food system's contribution to climate change. In addition, greenhouse gases from transforming land (clearing, burning, or otherwise removing existing vegetation) for agricultural use are a large source of food system greenhouse gas emissions. Climate change is associated with increased land surface temperature, extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and other changes to the environment. These changes may impact the quality, quantity, and safety of our food supply.

 Jones et al. (in review)
Definition
Natural and seminatural land embedded in agricultural lands.
Relevance
Embedding at least 10% of natural and seminatural vegetation is being proposed as a planetary boundary to guarantee that agricultural lands have integrity and a minimum amount of natural capital to provide ecosystem services. Attaining 10% natural vegetation is a low target that all cropland systems must fulfill.
Calculation
The natural vegetation around and embedded in croplands is calculated using a 1x1 km moving window. Values estimate the proportion of seminatural land around a cropland pixel which is then averaged at the national level for all cropland.

Definition
Proportion of adolescents (12-17 years) who reported consuming vegetables less than 1 time per day over the last 30 days. Data were collected from Global School-based Student Health Surveys.
Relevance
Adolescence is a formative time period of increasing independence where personal dietary habits and preferences are formed that may persist into adulthood. The WHO recommends daily consumption of 400 grams fruits and vegetables (https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/healthy-diet).

Definition
Proportion of adolescents (12-17 years) who reported consuming fast food at least 1 time per week. Data were collected from Global School-based Student Health Surveys.
Relevance
Adolescence is a formative time period of increasing independence where personal dietary habits and preferences are formed that may persist into adulthood. Fast food typically has more calories and less nutrients than foods cooked at the home. Excessive consumption of fast food may increase the risk of overweight and obesity.

Definition
Proportion of adolescents (12-17 years) who reported consuming carbonated soft drinks at least 1 time per day over the last 30 days. Data were collected from Global School-based Student Health Surveys.
Relevance
Adolescence is a formative time period of increasing independence where personal dietary habits and preferences are formed that may persist into adulthood. Consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages such as soft drinks has been associated with increased risk of overweight and obesity.
