Introduction
The main text refers to additional Tables and Figures that are reported below.
1. ts01.docx (Table S1) List of the food products included in this study and classification based on
type (plant, animal, luxury, or other non-food uses, no ed.), caloric content (CC, kcal/100 gr),
and production stage (primary, Pr., or secondary, Sec.).
1.1 Column “Food Commodity”, the name of the food commodiy reported in FAOSTAT.
1.2 Column “Type”, specifies whether the commodity is a plant, animal, or luxury product.
1.3 Column “Pr/Sec”, specifies whether the commodity is a primary or secondary (i.e., derived)
product.
1.4 Column “Food Commodity”, the name of the food commodiy reported in FAOSTAT.
1.5 Column “Type”, specifies whether the commodity is a plant, animal, or luxury product.
1.6 Column “Pr/Sec”, specifies whether the commodity is a primary or secondary (i.e., derived)
product.
1.7 Column “Food Commodity”, the name of the food commodiy reported in FAOSTAT.
1.8 Column “Type”, specifies whether the commodity is a plant, animal, or luxury product.
1.9 Column “Pr/Sec”, specifies whether the commodity is a primary or secondary (i.e., derived)
product.
2. ts02.doc (Table S2) Fraction of the food production available for direct human consumption.
2.1 Column “Year”, the year in the study period
2.2 Column “β”, fraction of the food production available for direct human consumption
