Not terribly clear as to why.

this seems like a useless metric as is

It’s a population chart…

Per-capita figures are on the right. I think this metric should be given the bar chart.

Data is fugly. Should be order by the per capita number , unless the intent was to mislead

Per capita with total as tiebreaker:
Brazil 94kg
Germany 78kg - 17% less than Brazil
China 76kg - 2.6% less than Germany
UK 76kg - 2.6% less than Germany
USA 73kg - 3.9% less than UK/China
France 61kg - 16% less than USA
India 55kg - 10% less than France
Russia 33kg - 40% less than India

Totally. There’s really no point in using anything /except/ per capita!

The solution I propose: every household gets a government issued pig.

It’s crazy when you think about the whole supply chain: preparing the soil, ploughing, applying fertilisers, applying pesticides, harvesting, processing, transporting, and then you just chuck it out and each step of production had its footprint.

It’s why expiration dates must be updated to reflect real expiration dates, not “best by”. We toss large amounts of food because of that. Probably large amounts of restaurant waste, too.

It’s also crazy how efficient modern agriculture must be to do all these things and get affordable products in the end
- frightful_hobgoblin ( @frightful_hobgoblin@lemmy.ml ) English1•7 hours ago
efficiency ≠ price
you’ve glossed over a lot of economics. Like, for one thing, the EU gives about €55 billion in agricultural subsidies a year.

Cost of production puts a lower bound on the price. In case of competitive industries, price floats just above that limit

How much is this percentage wise?
