𝗔𝗰𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝗹𝘆𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀: When using Integrated Assessment Models to derive food system budgets be very clear about the assumptions involved and the limitations inherent in their use.

𝗞𝗲𝗲𝗽 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝗳𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗲𝗽𝗮𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲: Including non-food impacts in food system analyses creates problems in understanding for decision-makers/the public. We've wide variation food system emissions from circa 21% to 34% of total. Let's be clear in what is included and how in each assessment.

𝗗𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗯𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗯𝘂𝗱𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘀: Sectoral budgets reflect feasibility within assumed constraints; boundaries are absolute biophysical limits. Let’s use budgets or allocations for food system emission and environmental targets unless a genuine biophysical boundary is justified.
