Environmental impact of plant-based foods | Climate impact in the studies varies between 0.5-2.0 kg CO2e per kg edible product. All data-points were considered relevant for the Swedish market, indicating that the climate impact of rice can vary greatly, but some studies show that climate impact is likely to be approximately 2 kg CO2e per kg edible product. European rice may have a lower impact (below 1 kg CO2e per kg edible product), but only two studies investigated emissions from European rice production.. Studies: 14 | 2.0 |
