kilojoules
all the aspects of metabolism can be represented in energy units (e.g. joules (j);1 calorie = 4.2 kj).









































energy used for metabolism will be









































r = c - (f + u + p) 









































energy used in the maintenance will be









































r + f + u = c - p

a 2006 research report from the agribusiness and economics research unit at lincoln university, new zealand counters claims about food miles by comparing total energy used in food production in europe and new zealand, taking into account energy used to ship the food to europe for consumers. the report states, "new zealand has greater production efficiency in many food commodities compared to the uk. for example new zealand agriculture tends to apply fewer fertilizers (which require large amounts of energy to produce and cause significant co2 emissions) and animals are able to graze year round outside eating grass instead of large quantities of brought-in feed such as concentrates. in the case of dairy and sheep meat production nz is by far more energy efficient, even including the transport cost, than the uk, twice as efficient in the case of dairy, and four times as efficient in case of sheep meat. in the case of apples, nz is more energy-efficient even though the energy embodied in capital items and other inputs data was not available for the uk."
