Fig. 4: The biodiversity pressure of the crops with the highest biodiversity pressure associated with national consumption (BPcons), which are produced domestically and imported.

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

ac, Biodiversity pressure data for the United Kingdom (a), India (b) and South Africa (c). The grey line represents the biodiversity pressue of the focal country, for comparison with the top five trade partners supplying the given crop, shown with coloured bars. Countries with bars above the grey, domestic line represent production under a stronger biodiversity pressure than that of the domestic focal country, and vice versa. The y-axis values are labelled in the left-most panels for all plots in the panel. Where crops were not imported and could not be compared to domestically produced crops, the crops with the next greatest BPcons are shown (India: eggplants, pumpkins, cauliflowers, okra; South Africa: pumpkins; United Kingdom: sour cherry, plantain, dates, oranges, bananas). Country names have been abbreviated using ISO (International Organization for Standardization) alpha-3 codes as follows (in order of appearance): CHL, Chile; FRA, France; NZL, New Zealand; USA, United States; ZAF, South Africa; DEU, Germany; ESP, Spain; ITA, Italy; NLD, Netherlands; GRC, Greece; TUR, Turkey; EGY, Egypt; GTM, Guatemala; KEN, Kenya; PRT, Portugal; GBR, United Kingdom; NPL, Nepal; ARE, United Arab Emirates; IRN, Iran; OMN, Oman; PAK, Pakistan; SAU, Saudi Arabia; AUS, Australia; PHL, Philippines; THA, Thailand; MMR, Myanmar; BGD, Bangladesh; CHN, China; IND, India; ARG, Argentina; KOR, Republic of Korea; AGO, Angola; POL, Poland; ZWE, Zimbabwe; BRA, Brazil; ISR, Israel; MOZ, Mozambique. Mean BPcons values per crop are provided for each focal country in Supplementary Table 1.3.
