The Ecological Footprint of my meal

For my spaghetti:

Cropland was used : wheat, tomatoes, carrots, onion, garlic, meat, cheese,...

No fisheries were used.

Forest was used : the spaghetti was in a cardboard box.

Built-up land was used : the vegetables came from the market, but all the other ingredients came from the store.

Carbon foorprint : there was a production of plastic (e.g. the vegetables were in plastic bags) and the ingredients where transported.

I think my meal has a medium Ecological footprint because a lot of ingredients came from the market and we made the spaghetti ourselves so it was fresh.
