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.

Definition
Average levels of potential risk to soil biodiversity and life at a global scale. Considered threats include loss of above ground biodiversity, pollution and nutrient overloading, cropland percentage cover, cattle density, fire density between 1997-2010 , Water and Wind Erosion Vulnerability Indices, Desertification Vulnerability Index, and Global Aridity Index. A score of 1 is low risk while a score of 8 is the highest risk.
Relevance
Countries with larger risk values suggests soil organisms are under high pressure signalling the need for changes in production systems to protect and restore soil biodiversity.
Calculation
All eight risk values maps (loss of above ground biodiversity; pollution and nutrient overloading; cropland percentage cover; cattle density; fire density 1997-2010; Water and Wind Erosion Vulnerability Indices; Desertification Vulnerability Index; Global Aridity Index) were scaled from 0 to 1 where 1 indicates higher risk. The Threat Soil Biodiversity Index is the sum of the different risks.
