Definition
Urban population refers to people living in urban areas as defined by national statistical offices. The data are collected and smoothed by the United Nations Population Division.
Relevance
Urbanization can be a challenge to the food system, as with increased proportion of people living in urban areas, food production is at risk of declining, especially on low- and middle-sized farms. Urban areas demand high penetration of food distribution and retail.

Definition
The annual population growth rate for year t is the exponential rate of growth of midyear population from year t-1 to t, expressed as a percentage . Population is based on the de facto definition of population, which counts all residents regardless of citizenship or legal status.
Relevance
Population growth is relevant as it speaks to how fast a population is changing, what the age profile of the population is, and gives clues to the age-dependency ratio. A fast growing population also means pressure on the food system to continue increasing supply to meet the demands of a larger population.

Provides the cost of adequate calories for energy balance at a given level of physical activity and body size, using only the least-cost starchy staple in each country.

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.
