Fig. 3: Pressures associated with specific fruits and vegetables consumed by the United Kingdom, India and South Africa.

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

Fig. 3

a–c, The top five crops according to consumption per country in each crop group (supplied via domestic production (‘domestic’) or imports (‘imported’)): dry-weight consumption (tonnes) (a), per-tonne BP (species·hectares per tonne), with the weighted-average BP for each imported product included for the imported components (b), and the BP associated with national consumption (BPcons, species·hectares), measuring the overall impact of all tonnes consumed by a country (c). Values for all fruits and vegetables analysed are provided in Supplementary Tables 1.1–1.3. A log10 transformation has been applied for visualization purposes; the tinted bar and asterisk (*) next to ‘currant’ highlight that this fruit has a positive value, but this is very small and therefore presents as a negative number after the log10 transformation. This figure is complementary to Fig. 2, which shows violin plots of the distribution of pressures and consumption of all fruits and vegetables consumed in each focal country; here, we show the pressures and consumption values for some of the crops summarized in Fig. 2.
