Potential Impacts of Food Production on Freshwater Availability Considering Water Sources

Potential Impacts of Food Production on Freshwater Availability Considering Water Sources

We quantify the potential impacts of global food production on freshwater availability (water scarcity footprint; WSF) by applying the water unavailability factor (fwua) as a characterization factor and a global water resource model based on life cycle impact assessment (LCIA). Each water source, in...
