From: Biodiversity pressure from fruit and vegetable consumption in the United Kingdom, India and South Africa varies by product and growing location

a, Dry-weight consumption (t, tonnes). b, Per-tonne BP (species·ha t−1, species·hectares per tonne), with the weighted-average BP for each imported product included for the imported components. c, BP associated with national consumption (BPcons; species·ha, species·hectares), measuring the overall impact of all tonnes consumed by a country. Panel b shows paired facets per country, with the right-hand images being ‘zoomed in’ versions of the left, for visualization purposes. This figure summarizes the values for each fruit and vegetable analysed, for all values greater than zero. The violin plots therefore show the distribution for 21, 49 and 40 domestically produced fruits and vegetables, and 50, 48 and 45 imported fruits and vegetables, for the United Kingdom, India and South Africa, respectively. A log10 transformation has been applied for visualization purposes. Untransformed median values are provided in Supplementary Table 1.4, together with mean values and proportions of fruits and vegetables supplied via domestic production and imported.
