The UK’s middle-income dietary trap: High emissions, low nutrition
Dietary transitions driven by income disparity increasingly impose a dual burden on health and the climate. This study integrates the Nutrient Rich Food (NRF 9.3 ) index and Global Warming Potential (GWP) to evaluate the nutrition‐carbon trade-off in UK household food purchases in 2013. Our analysis reveals a “middle-income dietary trap”. Across Deciles 4–8, households increase their overall food purchases as income rises, but this expansion is d…
Environmental footprints of German food consumption by gender and socio-economic status
Germany's dietary patterns are among the most environmentally intensive in the world. In light of the multitude of environmental pressures originating from the current food system, we scrutinise the carbon, land, blue and green water foodprints of German consumers, distinguishing between two subgroups of interest: gender and socio-economic status. Using the multi-regional Food and Agriculture Biomass Input-Output model we are able to capture emis…

Kolonialität von Essen und Bewegungen für Ernährungssouveränität: Emanzipatorische Ernährungspraktiken in Kolumbien und Kenia
Essen ist politisch. Die Speisen, die auf unsere Teller kommen sind verknüpft mit kolonial geprägten, vergeschlechtlichten und klassenbasierten Machtverhältnissen. In diesem Buchbeitrag nehmen wir die Konzepte der Kolonialität von Macht (Quijano 2000) und der Kolonialität von Natur (Alimonda 2011) zum Ausgangspunkt für die Entwicklung eines Begriffs der Kolonialität von Essen. Im zweiten Teil des Beitrags erörtern wir anhand von zwei Fallstudien …

Colonial Counter-Mappings and the Cartographic Reformation in Eighteenth-Century America
Cet article retrace l’histoire des cartes alternatives de l’Amérique coloniale qui virent le jour dans les archives européennes en réponse aux rencontres avec les cartes établies par la population autochtone et à la réforme cartographique qui s’opéra au XVIIIe siècle. S’efforçant de repenser l’histoire de la cartographie en tenant compte de sa diversité culturelle et de la richesse de son contenu, l’article souligne que les cartes impériales repr…
Eating healthy or wasting less? Reducing resource footprints of food consumption
To feed future populations on ever-scarcer natural resources, policy initiatives aim to decrease resource footprints of food consumption. While adopting healthier diets has shown great potential to reduce footprints, current political initiatives primarily address strategies to reduce food waste, with the target of halving food waste at retail and consumption levels by 2030. Using Germany as a case study, we compare the resource-saving potential …
The effect of industrialization and globalization on domestic land-use: A global resource footprint perspective
Reflection: Food as pleasure or pressure? The care politics of the pandemic
Pleasure and pressure are two sides of the same coin when it comes to the unpaid care economy. Food is the lens through which we examine the Janus-faced character of care during the Covid-19 pandemic. Based on qualitative empirical findings, we argue that time is crucial to whether people experience ambivalence, joy or constraints in providing food for the self, the family and the wider community. In Berlin, Germany, the pandemic lockdown and clo…
Supply versus use designs of environmental extensions in input–output analysis: Conceptual and empirical implications for the case of energy
Input–output analysis is one of the central methodological pillars of industrial ecology. However, the literature that discusses different structures of environmental extensions (EEs), that is, the scope of physical flows and their attribution to sectors in the monetary input–output table (MIOT), remains fragmented. This article investigates the conceptual and empirical implications of applying two different but frequently used designs of EEs, us…
Increasing impacts of land use on biodiversity and carbon sequestration driven by population and economic growth
The Place of Objects and Things in the Age of Materiality
This essay reprises the status of objects in relation to critical conversations that favor things and thing studies over other methodologies of material culture studies. Recent discussions have dismissed objects as passive foils that lack in meaning. Glossing the factor of representation, however, these discussions have also glossed over a factor crucial in shaping the way in which the distinction between objects and things is made accessible in …
Quantifying the global cropland footprint of the European Union’s non-food bioeconomy
A rapidly growing share of global agricultural areas is devoted to the production of biomass for non-food purposes. The expanding non-food bioeconomy can have far-reaching social and ecological implications; yet, the non-food sector has attained little attention in land footprint studies. This paper provides the first assessment of the global cropland footprint of non-food products of the European Union (EU), a globally important region regarding…

Exiobase 3: Developing a Time Series of Detailed Environmentally Extended Multi‐Regional Input‐Output Tables
Environmentally extended multiregional input‐output (EE MRIO) tables have emerged as a key framework to provide a comprehensive description of the global economy and analyze its effects on the environment. Of the available EE MRIO databases, EXIOBASE stands out as a database compatible with the System of Environmental‐Economic Accounting (SEEA) with a high sectorial detail matched with multiple social and environmental satellite accounts. In this…
Towards Robust, Authoritative Assessments of Environmental Impacts Embodied in Trade: Current State and Recommendations
Global multiregional input‐output databases (GMRIOs) became the standard tool for tracking environmental impacts through global supply chains. To date, several GMRIOs are available, but the numerical results differ. This paper considers how GMRIOs can be made more robust and authoritative. We show that GMRIOs need detail in environmentally relevant sectors. On the basis of a review of earlier work, we conclude that the highest uncertainty in foot…

The Geographic Revolution in Early America; Maps, Literacy, and National Identity
rapid rise in popularity of maps and geography handbooks in the eighteenth century ushered in a new geographic literacy among non elite Americans. In a path breaking and richly illustrated examination of this transformation, Martin Bruckner argues that geographic literacy as it was played out in popular literary genres significantly influenced the formation of identity in from the 1680s to the 1820s. Drawing on historical geography, cartography, …

Rebellious Maps José Joaquim Da Rocha and the Proto-Independence Movement in Colonial Brazil
This chapter focuses on a plot of rebellion in the captaincy of Minas Gerais. Upon its discovery, Portuguese commissioners named one of their star cartographers, Jose Joaquim da Rocha, as one of the possible instigators of a nascent independence movement. Rocha became a suspect after several co-conspirators had declared his maps to be a practical guide for coordinating the movement's plans. For Rocha's maps to be thus accused came as a surprise t…
The Ambulatory Map: Commodity, Mobility, and Visualcy in Eighteenth-Century Colonial America
This essay examines the cultural significance of “ambulatory maps” in the Atlantic world between 1700 and 1800. Comparing stationary and portable maps, the essay in particular explores the emergent genre of the commercial pocket map. As “things-in-motion,” pocket maps occupied a unique place in American material life. Used for mapping people’s transits while at the same time being objects in transit, pocket maps constituted a unique visual and li…
Carbon and Materials Embodied in the International Trade of Emerging Economies: A Multiregional Input‐Output Assessment of Trends Between 1995 and 2005
Production in emerging economies, such as Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and Argentina (BRICSA), increased substantially over the past two decades. This is, on the one hand, due to growing domestic demand within these countries, and, on the other hand, due to a deepened international division of work. Global trade linkages have become denser and production chains are no longer restricted to only one or two countries. The volume of in…

The Lithographed Map in Philadelphia: Innovation, Imitation, and Antebellum Consumer Culture
Lithography’s rise contributed to the industrialization of map production and the radical revaluation of American maps. A descriptive survey of select maps illustrates how lithography was responsible for the rapid diversification of map genres coterminous with the widespread commercialization of pictorial prints, the rise of consumer-oriented marketing, and the nascent culture of window-shopping. By focusing on the material changes in map product…
