The Well Traveled
Yogurt Pot

Corn & Wheat powder Labels &
Plastics
Milk
Glass Jars
o 150 g Yogurt pot
o Strawberries- Poland- West
Germany- Southern Germany
o Corn and wheat powder-
Holland- West Germany-
Southern Germany
o Labels and plastics- West

o Glass jars- East Germany
o Milk- Stuttgart hinterlands
“In general, volume of road freight (tons) is stagnating, volume of freight movement (ton-miles) is increasing”………Stefanie Böge, 1995
The Well Traveled Yogurt Pot
o Environmental consequences- emissions of SO2, Nox, and dust
o Diesel and fossil fuel expenses (non-renewable energy sources)
o For one truck-load of yogurt in southern Germany , a theoretical truck-load has to move 1,005 KM.

Food-Miles Concepto “Farm to the Fork”- distance traveled by food (Angela Paxton,
1994)
o Energy used, GHG emissions, other environmental impacts
o Favors locally grown food vs. imported food, which use air freight and other transport modes
Source: Paxton, Angela, Food Miles Report: Danger of Long Distance Transport, Sep 1st, 1994.Xuereb, Marc, And Miles to Go Before I Eat-Home Grown Hurrah, Alternatives Journal, University of Waterloo, 32:3, 18-20, 2006
o Waterloo Project, Canada- 58 imported foods traveled on average 4,500 KM with estimated GHG emissions of 51,709 tons
Food-Miles Concept
o Economic Input Output Life Cycle Analysis for food production
o The average U.S. household’s carbon footprint from food consumption is 8.1 ton CO2/year (Weber, 2008)
o Of 8.1 ton CO2/Year, 83% of GHG emissions are from production and only 11% is from the transportation of food materials (Weber, 2008)
o Food is transported long distances, average 1,640 KM for delivery and 6,760 KM life cycle supply chain (Weber, 2008)
o Arguments for locally grown foods should not be based solely on food-miles and environmental benefits

Foodshedso Similar to Watersheds, Laborsheds and Commutesheds
o Area of land and waters within a region from which food is produced in order to deliver nutrition to a population base (Roots of Change, 2012)
o Foodsheds can cross jurisdictional boundaries; depend on population needs and production capacity of the lands
o Include production (farms, ranches, community gardens), infrastructure (composting facilities, distribution centers, transportation), wholesale and retail sites, etc.
o San Francisco: 100-mile radius foodshed around the city was studied
o NIRPC Food Study: 100-mile radius foodshed

Foodshedso Feeding Chicago Project estimated a hinterland of 80-mile buffer
sufficient to feed the city’s inhabitants (Schuble et al., 2011)
o Foodshed model is based on soil yield data, soil type, drainage, etc.
o Assumptions about nutrition intake, dietary habits, etc.
o Core of GIS-based model has an “optimization routine”
o New York City Regional Food Initiative study- Philadelphia, around 100-mile region; New York metro region, around 200-mile region

Cold Chainso Specialized temperature controlled transport and distribution systems
o U.S. imports about 30% of fruits & vegetables and around 20% of exports are perishable (Rodrigue & Nottenboom, 2012)
o Subtropolis, Kansas City- comparative advantage of geography, ambient temperature 180-210C , 4.5 Sq. KM of potential space, 5-million Sq. feet space in use, up to 70% savings in utility costs (Rodrigue, J-P et al., 2012; The Atlantic; HuntMidwest)

Cold Chainso Subsurface distribution and warehousing- Kansas City, Independence,
Springfield, MO
o Modes- Refrigerated railcars and truck trailers (reefers); air; not so much of intermodal ship containers
o Cold chain logistics- fruits, processed food, meat/seafood, beverage, flowers, pharmaceuticals, etc.
o Canada to Mexico export of processed and perishable food items (Prentice & McLachlin, 2008)
o Panama Canal Expansion- Panama’s investments on new cold chain infrastructure, seaports, free trade zone, railways, airports
