Environmental data derived from life cycle assessment for individual foods within the Australian food system were obtained from previous studies [33–36]. A combined index of environmental impact was used as an indication of the environmental impact of diets which included indicators of climate footprint [34], water scarcity footprint [35], and cropland scarcity footprint [36]. The environmental impact data for individual foods consumed were summed to estimate the environmental impact of individuals’ diets.
