Our FoodPrint Calculator

To use our calculator, select the category and food item from the drop-down menu. Then enter the serving amount and unit you would like to check the corresponding "foodprint" for. Your foodprint will appear after you hit calculate!

Tip: For accurate results, enter fractions in decimal form. For example, to check the foodprint for a half cup of broccoli, enter vegetables for the category, broccoli under item, 0.5 for the serving and cup for the unit.

The unit for the foodprint is in CO2 equivalents (CO2e), which allows us to understand the total greenhouse gas emissions, and not just emissions from CO2. CO2e is calculated using the amount of a greenhouse gas and its global warming potential (GWP) set by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
