stored animal feed obtained from farms and then slaughtered, portioned and packaged. Grains, nuts, fruits, and vegetables are stored in grain silos or cold storage
before they are sent to food processing facilities where they are cleaned, prepared
into various products, and then packaged. All the fish and seafood products are processed and packaged in the fish processing facilities to be ready for consumption.
Note that “Animal Farms/Ranches/Hatcheries (E)” stage has a direct path to the
“Slaughter Houses/Processing Plant (P)” for products that does not need to go into
feedlots. All the products are transported to regional warehouse for distribution to
restaurants, grocery stores, and food banks to connect with the consumer.
In Fig. 10.2 we combine various commodities that are interrelated or similar in
their supply chain steps. All agricultural products (FC: 1100000) as well as all food
products (FC: 1110000) are represented. Agricultural products include live animals
and fish (FC: 1100001), cereal grains (FC: 1100002), other agricultural products
(FC: 1100003) such as vegetables, fruits, flowers, sugar beets, sugar canes, unprocessed coffee, etc., as well as animal feed (FC: 1100004) such as cereal straw, husks,
forage products, raw hides, dog food, cat food, etc. Food products include meat and
seafood (FC: 1111005), milled grain products (FC: 1112006), and other food stuffs
(FC: 1113007), such as milk, cream, cheese curd, vegetable oils, soups, broths, fruit
and vegetable juices, and more.
In extraction stages waste is generated in the form of air pollution, water pollution and animal waste which falls under FEWSION waste categories “Chemical and
Industrial” (FC: 5570041), “Green Organic” waste (FC: 5572041) and “non-potable
reclaimed water” (FC: 3342999). Waste from feedlots and processing plants also
fall into those categories along with the waste that goes into landfills “Municipal
