Biodiversity Impact of Institutional Food Consumption, 2026

3.3 MB of data combines FABIOv2 with spatially-explicit characterization factors from GLAM. Valentin Specht created this dataset for a 2026 Nature Communications Sustainability publication. It likely contains data on the biodiversity impacts linked to institutional food procurement.

Use Cases

• Assess biodiversity hotspots in supply chains based on the combined FABIOv2 and GLAM data.
• Model the multi-driver biodiversity impact of institutional food consumption patterns.
• Analyze the effect of food origin on biodiversity based on spatially-explicit characterization factors.

Strengths

• Data is explicitly linked to a peer-reviewed 2026 publication in Nature Communications Sustainability.
• Combines two established data sources: FABIOv2 and GLAM characterization factors.
• Released under a permissive CC-BY-4.0 license for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The 3.3 MB size suggests a relatively small or aggregated dataset.
