The eco-score calculation adds a correction to the base Agribalyse data in order to correct for additional transport. This should correction should favor products, which are produced near to the consumer.

=== Transport modes ===
 +
Goods can be transported via road, rail or waterways. The transport modes are described in [https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/documents/3217494/5711595/KS-DA-09-001-EN.PDF/9c90d489-5009-4acc-9810-ae39612897d3 Eurostat report] (2009).

The goods we are interested in (related to food) fall in the following NST/R categories (table 4.6, p66):
 +
* 0/1 - cereals;
 +
* 0/2 - potatoes, other fresh/frozen fruits and vegetables;
 +
* 1/6 - foodstuffs and animal fodder;
 +
* 1/7 - oil seeds and oleaginous fruits and fats;
 +
 +
We assume that Agribalyse takes care of the environmental impact in producing consumer ready products. This implies we are not interested in the transport of bulk raw products.
 +
 +
NST/R category 1/6 will be the most important category. For this category the most important transport mode is the route (table 4.7, p67).
