A dataset of the food self-sufficiency assessment of Bristol and Vienna based on a foodshed approach.

ABSTRACT: The food self-sufficiency assessment of Bristol and Vienna was developed by applying the Metropolitan Foodshed and Self-sufficiency scenario (MFSS) model [1] in the proposed respective foodsheds. In the case of Vienna 25 surrounding districts (i.e. Niederösterreich region) were selected, whereas for Bristol 5 districts surrounding the city were included. The model takes the consumption patterns as well as the available area for agriculture in the proposed foodsheds as the main inputs. Intermediate calculations are developed using data on population and yields. The outputs after applying the MFSS model are: (1) the area demand (i.e. surface needed to meet the population´s dietary requirements) in terms of surface and radius, and (2) the potential food self-sufficiency, at district level and
