9 metrics: real-world trajectories, 2000–2023 (Verified (live))

Each line shows the real-world metric indexed to the methodology baseline of 100. A rising line means the activity is increasing. For example, the Animal Headcount line rises when head counts rise. The legend and readout give aggregated physical totals where published, while the indexed lines keep all metrics on one scale. Rising head counts, emissions, land use, trade, feed, output, farm jobs or modelled blue-water scarcity pressure record more animal-agriculture pressure and push the headline CSI down because the CSI uses their inverse. The consumer-transition metric is direct. Use the View buttons to switch between the real-world activity and the CSI sub-index the index consumes; the readout shows both numbers for the selected point.

Feed ↔ head count

Feed production and animal headcount are separate measures. The release binds their inputs and component evidence. Movement in one measure does not establish movement in the other.

All 9 metrics on one shared index scale (methodology baseline 100), reflected into real-world orientation from the published sub-index histories so a rising line always means the activity is rising. Each line preserves the periods published in its accepted history. The shared scale spans every metric (roughly 60 to 158), so a recent move of a few index points is a small but real slope, not a flat line. The CSI consumes the inverse of the eight animal-agriculture pressure metrics, so the headline CSI falls as they climb. Select a metric above to trace it; hover or keyboard-focus a point to inspect it. Each series carries the evidence and trust state published with its release.
