Unit meaning: Values use % of agricultural products or animal feed produced or sourced under the disclosed TNFD sector-guidance method, reporting period and boundary.
Published dimensions
- Product category: agricultural product or animal feed
- Value-chain relationship: produced or sourced
- Water-scarcity classification: high or extremely high baseline water scarcity
- Geographic source area

Formula
(Agricultural products or animal feed produced or sourced from areas of high or extremely high baseline water scarcity ÷ total agricultural products or animal feed produced or sourced) × 100Apply the source-defined TNFD sector-guidance method within the stated reporting boundary. FA.C3.0 is a standalone percentage outcome concerning the geographic water-scarcity exposure of agricultural products and animal feed. It is not the same construct as water withdrawal or water consumption in scarcity areas, which measure operational water volumes rather than product or feed sourcing exposure.
Variables
| Symbol | Variable | Definition | Unit |
|---|---|---|---|
Q_scarcity | Qualifying products or feed | Agricultural products or animal feed produced or sourced from areas classified as having high or extremely high baseline water scarcity. | same quantity unit as total products or feed |
Q_total | Total products or feed | Total agricultural products or animal feed produced or sourced within the stated reporting boundary. | same quantity unit as qualifying products or feed |

Evidence and status sources
Sustopedia checked each record-specific claim directly against primary publisher material. Labels distinguish current measurement authority from future compatibility and corroborative, legal, edition, or method status context. Corroborative evidence can support a stated limitation but cannot establish the core measurement by itself.

- Identify the baseline water-scarcity classification or source used to identify high and extremely high water-scarcity areas.
- Describe how product origin and sourced-product locations are determined.
- State whether the reported population covers produced products, sourced products, or both.
Record-specific limitations
- The result depends on the water-scarcity classification applied to source areas.
- The result depends on traceability of product origin and sourcing locations.
Interpret this metric with the stated reporting boundary, period convention, value shape, and unit. Results prepared with different boundaries or conventions may not be directly comparable.
Measurement evidence supports the core record-specific claims described above. Corroborative evidence can support limitations, while compatibility and status sources provide their separately labelled context. None of these cards by itself determines an organisation's legal applicability, filing readiness, assurance status, or compliance conclusion.
