Supply chain sustainability standards in temperate farming commodities
<p>Could companies contribute to farmland biodiversity in temperate landscapes? Most of the business efforts to enhance sustainability in agricultural supply chains have been focused on tropics. Important temperate crops like cereals and oilseeds are left largely unchecked. This results in a missed opportunity to reverse biodiversity decline in about 47% of the world's cropland. But implementation of voluntary sustainability standards to restore biodiversity in temperate and Mediterranean biomes would require doing things differently than in tropical commodities. Temperate agriculture differs both in its operations (lack of divergence between staples and cash crops, crop rotation) and landscape context (lack of agricultural expansion frontiers, complex pressures on biodiversity). Consequently, agricultural certification and similar schemes need to be linked primarily to a unit of space rather than a specific commodity. However, necessary tools such as advanced criteria, metrics and data infrastructure are lacking in temperate agriculture, and their development depends on input from conservation scientists and practitioners.</p> <p>Supporting information for<em> Supply chain sustainability standards in temperate farming commodities </em>consists of:</p> <ol> <li>Dataset for Figure 1;</li> <li>Additional information on methodology (VSSs uptake in retail industry) and sources (LEAF Marque case study, references for evidence of impact of feasible objectives for VSSs in conventional temperate agriculture).</li> </ol> <p> </p>
Dataset on consumer acceptance of policy measures for sustainable food consumption
<p>This data was obtained from an online survey conducted with Swiss participants from the German-speaking parts of Switzerland. The survey was conducted in February 2023. Participants were recruited through a professional panel provider and quotas were used for age and gender. The final sample contained 453 respondents. In the first part of the survey, respondents provided basic sociodemographic information and reported how often they consumed meat and dairy products. In the second part, their knowledge regarding the environmental impact of food was assessed using an existing scale by Hartmann et al. (2021). Next, respondents indicated for 19 different policy measures how much they agreed with each of them. Finally, respondents answered several questions assessing their health consciousness and environmental attitudes using existing scales. The survey can be used and adapted to different contents, aiming to investigate public acceptance of policy measures for sustainable food consumption.</p>
Dataset on consumers' perception of different types of sustainability levies, Swiss agriculture and farmers and willingness to choose suboptimal potatoes in different settings
<p><em><span>This dataset includes survey data from 481 Swiss consumers. Data were collected in the German-speaking parts of Switzerland in February and March 2024. The survey includes three independent main parts. </span></em></p> <p><em><span>In a first part, we collected qualitative and quantitative data on participants’ perception of Swiss agriculture and farmers. Specifically, participants’ trust in crop and livestock production farmers and their perceived knowledge about production methods and their affect towards farmers was assessed. </span></em></p> <p><em><span>In a second part, we collected quantitative data on participants’ preference for different sustainability levies. For this, six different products were used (i.e., fresh/processed vegetables, dairy, and meat). For each of these six products, participants were shown four levy options from which they had to choose the one that they found most appealing. For vegetables, the options were: (A) reduction of risks related to plant protection products, (B) more support for local farmers, (C) support for environmental sustainability, and (D) sustainability projects in general. For the animal products, option (A) was an increase in animal welfare, whilst options (B), (C) and (D) were the same as for the vegetable products.</span></em></p> <p><em><span>In a third part, we collected qualitative and quantitative data on participants preferences for suboptimal or optimal potatoes. Here, a 2 × 2 experimental design (setting × information) was used. This means that participants were presented with either a supermarket or farm shop setting and with or without food waste information. Participants then chose between two potatoes: optimal potato A, suboptimal potato B, or neither. Both potatoes were equally expensive.</span></em></p>

Dataset for "Sustainable Disposal and End-of-Life Treatment of Battery Energy Storage Systems: An Environmental and Economic Case Study"
This study investigates the environmental and economic impacts of end-of-life (EOL) treatment for a 2.8 MWh/2.5 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) based on lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). It focuses on recycling pre-treatment processes for battery systems and recycling procedures for components like cooling systems, fire extinguishing systems, inverters, and the reuse of BESS containers and substations. A life cycle assessment (LCA) was employed to evaluate key environmental impacts, including climate change, eutrophication, and resource use. The study reveals substantial environmental benefits, particularly from recovering secondary materials like aluminium and copper, with recycling pre-treatment contributing significantly to overall benefits. Additionally, the economic analysis projects profits, emphasizing the advantages of locally sourcing critical raw materials. The research highlights the need for more sustainable recycling practices and provides insights for improving environmental and economic strategies in BESS management, offering guidance for future research and policy development in battery waste processing.

Data and R-scripts for "Land-use trajectories for sustainable land system transformations: identifying leverage points in a global biodiversity hotspot" (V2)
<p>Sustainable land system transformations are necessary to avert biodiversity and climate collapse. However, it remains unclear where entry points for transformations exist in complex land systems. Here, we conceptualize land systems along land-use trajectories, which allows us to identify and evaluate leverage points; i.e., entry points on the trajectory where targeted interventions have particular leverage to influence land-use decisions. We apply this framework in the biodiversity hotspot Madagascar. In the Northeast, smallholder agriculture results in a land-use trajectory originating in old-growth forests, spanning forest fragments, and reaching shifting hill rice cultivation and vanilla agroforests. Integrating interdisciplinary empirical data on seven taxa, five ecosystem services, and three measures of agricultural productivity, we assess trade-offs and co-benefits of land-use decisions at three leverage points along the trajectory. These trade-offs and co-benefits differ between leverage points: two leverage points are situated at the conversion of old-growth forests and forest fragments to shifting cultivation and agroforestry, resulting in considerable trade-offs, especially between endemic biodiversity and agricultural productivity. Here, interventions enabling smallholders to conserve forests are necessary. This is urgent since ongoing forest loss threatens to eliminate these leverage points due to path-dependency. The third leverage point allows for the restoration of land under shifting cultivation through vanilla agroforests and offers co-benefits between restoration goals and agricultural productivity. The co-occurring leverage points highlight that conservation and restoration are simultaneously necessary. Methodologically, the framework shows how leverage points can be identified, evaluated, and harnessed for land system transformations under the consideration of path-dependency along trajectories.</p>

We developed a multi-objective framework of spatial optimization for priority areas that considers environmental justice. We employed the priority areas (i.e., residential districts, socio-economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, hotspot regions, and opportunity areas), ECOSTRESS-based LST, actual evapotranspiration (ETa, as a proxy to water use), Landsat-based LST and ETa changes (2000–2020), and the evaporative stress index (ESI). These datasets are used to identify the priority areas in which environmental conditions need to be improved seriously and (2) spatially optimize the placement of new green space (tree %, grass %) in the priority areas to realize the most significant LST reduction and minimum OWU. We provide the results of the new green space configurations with the scenarios for the percentage of new vegetation coverage (including trees and grass) overall increased to 25%, 35%, and 45% within the entire study areas, residential districts, socio-economically disadvantaged neighborhoods, and hotspot regions.</p> <table> <caption>The dataset summarization</caption> <tbody> <tr> <td>Category</td> <td>Dataset</td> <td>Resolution</td> <td>Source/method</td> <td>Time</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental database</td> <td>Summer daytime LST</td> <td>70m</td> <td>ECOSTRESS</td> <td>2019</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental database</td> <td>Summer nighttime LST</td> <td>70m</td> <td>ECOSTRESS</td> <td>2019</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental database</td> <td>Summer ETa</td> <td>70m</td> <td>ECOSTRESS</td> <td>2019</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental database</td> <td>Summer ESI</td> <td>70m</td> <td>ECOSTRESS</td> <td>2019</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental change database</td> <td>Trends of summer LST changes</td> <td>30m</td> <td>Landsat-based Statistical Mono-Window algorithm</td> <td>2000-2020</td> </tr> <tr> <td>Environmental change database</td> <td>Trends of summer ETa changes</td> <td>30m</td> <td>Landsat-based Simplified Surface Energy Balance</td> <td>2000-2020</td> </tr> <tr> <td>The results of new green space configurations</td> <td>The spatial distributions of new green space</td> <td>--</td> <td>Spatial optimization</td> <td>--</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> <p>note: LULC: Land use and land cover; LST: Land Surface Temperature; ETa: Actual Evapotranspiration; ESI: Evaporative Stress Index</p> <p>We provide the different scenarios in shapefile format for spatial distributions of new space configurations.
