A multi-level network tool to trace wasted water from farm to fork and backward

NETFLOW - Network-based 13 Evaluation Tool for Food LOss and Waste V 0.1 #################################################################################################################################################### Authors: Francesco Semeria - Politecnico di Torino - [e-mail] Marta Tuninetti - Politecnico di Torino Luca Ridolfi - Politecnico di Torino #################################################################################################################################################### CONTENT OF THIS ARCHIVE The listed files contain output data from the NETFLOW tool and assess the impact on water resources of food loss and waste (FLW) for wheat an its main derived products (flour, bran, pasta and bread). In particular, they quantify such impact offering two perspectives: 1. supply-side, from FLW associated to food consumption backwards to the countries of production; 2. utilisation-side, from the countries of production forward to the countries where FLW occurs. It should be noted that the two perspectives allow to identify two different aspects of the FLW issue. List of files: data_fig2_ita_supply_vw.xlsx = output data regarding the supply network of Italy. data_fig3_usa_utilisation_vw.xlsx = output data regarding the utilisation network of the United States. data_fig4_global_supply_vw.xlx = output data regarding the global supply network. Modelling scripts are currently available upon request.
