The production of food is at the heart of global sustainability challenges, with unsustainable practices being a major driver of biodiversity loss, greenhouse gas emissions, water overextraction, and land degradation. The concept of foodscapes, defined as the characteristics of food production along biophysical and socio-economic gradients, could provide an entry point into navigating this nexus. Further, identifying broad homologues of possible foodscape classes would help to design possible interventions and leverage points for more sustainable agriculture. Here we provide a globally consistent depiction of the world’s foodscapes approximated through distinct classes. We integrate the best available global data on biophysical and socio-economic factors to identify the minimum set of emergent clusters that determine these homologues production systems and evaluate their characteristics. We also explore and highlight vulnerabilities, risks and values affecting these depictions of the world's foodscapes. Overall, we find that food production globally is highly concentrated, with few foodscape classes producing much of the World’s food. Worryingly, we also find that many foodscape classes, particularly intensively cultivated or irrigated foodscape classes, are under considerable climatic and degradation risks. Our work can serve as baseline for global-scale zoning and gap analyses, while also revealing opportunities and homologous areas for possible agricultural interventions.
