A study was conducted to examine the interrelationships among socioeconomic factors,
household consumption patterns, calorie intake and greenhouse gas emissions factors in
rural eastern India based on household survey data. Findings indicated that higher monthly
per capita incomes (12.1–80.1$) were associated with greater average calorie intakes
(2021–2525 kcal d−
1). As estimated by the FEEDME model, in total 17.2% of the population
was calorie malnourished with a regional disparity of 29.4–18.2% malnourishment.
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions were calculated only on the basis of crop and livestock
production and consumption. Rice accounted for the highest share of total GHG emissions,
on average 82.6% on a production basis, which varied from 58.1% to 94.9% in regional
basis. Rice contributed the greatest share (~ 65% and 66.2%) in terms of both calories and
GHG emissions (
CO2 eq y−
1), respectively, on a consumption basis. We conclude that
extensive rice farming and increasing animal product consumption are dominant factors in
the higher carbon footprint in this region and are likely to further increase with increase in
per capita income. This study provides useful information to help for better crop planning
and for fine-tuning food access policy, to reduce carbon footprint and calorie malnutrition.
