本文使用生态足迹来衡量次国家层面食品和饮料消费对环境的影响。案例研究选定的地区是威尔士的首府卡迪夫。本文首先解释了什么是生态足迹以及如何测量。我们描述了如何计算卡迪夫的生态足迹，特别强调的食品和饮料的组成部分。本文的主要部分集中在卡迪夫的食品和饮料的生态足迹结果，以及我们如何开始，使居民的消费更具可持续性。我们提出并分析了几种方案的结果，以减少卡迪夫的食品和饮料消费的环境影响。这些情景的重点是改变卡迪夫居民在家中消费的食物和饮料的类型。本文还从营养和经济角度对结果进行了分析，最后讨论了使用生态足迹来衡量次国家一级消费对环境影响的价值。我们还讨论了这种综合分析如何在国家以下一级提供更全面的食品和饮料消费，并更好地为可持续食品和饮料消费的政策决策提供信息。
This paper uses the ecological footprint to measure the environmental impact of food and drink consumption at a sub-national level. The case study area selected is Cardiff, the capital city of Wales. The paper begins by explaining what an ecological footprint is and how it is measured. We describe how an ecological footprint was calculated for Cardiff, with specific emphasis on the food and drink component. The main part of this paper focuses on Cardiff's ecological footprint results for food and drink and how we might begin to make residents' consumption more sustainable. We present and analyse the results of several scenarios developed to reduce the environmental impact of Cardiff's food and drink consumption. These scenarios focus on changing the type of food and drink that the average Cardiff resident consumes at home. Here we also analyse the results from a nutritional and economic perspective, finally, we discuss the value of using the ecological footprint to measure the environmental impact of consumption at a sub-national level. We also discuss how this combined analysis can provide a more comprehensive account of food and drink consumption at the sub-national level, and better inform policy decisions on sustainable food and drink consumption.
