Dataset description

This dataset comprises of four Microsoft Excel (.xlsx) workbooks. Dataset A contains time-series data for summary statistics reported in this paper. Dataset B contains time series data for the the FAO's Production data in tonnes and joules, with associated embodied energy values. Dataset C contains time series data for the FAO's Food Balance data in tonnes and joules, with associated embodied energy values. Dataset D contains time series data for fertilser and pesticide use in agriculture from the FAO in tonnes and joules, with associated embodied energy values. Data from the IEA and Steenwyk et al (in preparation) that were utilised in the study were omitted here as they were obtained under licence, or with sole permission from the author.
