Abstract

A nitrogen (N) footprint quantifies and connects N losses with consumption patterns. The N footprint of Portugal was estimated for consumption and production, based on Leach et al. (2012) approach, and compared to a typical Mediterranean diet N footprint. Total N footprint takes into consideration the footprints from energy consumption (housing and transport) and food consumption and production. The N footprint in Portugal was estimated to be 27.9 kg N cap-1 yr-1. Food production is the main contributor sector of the Portuguese N footprint (~ 80%), mainly from animal-based products, followed by food consumption, transport and housing sectors. Following the Mediterranean dietary recommendations, food consumption and production N footprint in Portugal can achieve a reduction of 44% and 30%, respectively. Mediterranean diet shows huge potential to reduce N losses into the environment.
