- Abstract:
- ... A cradle-to-farm-gate life cycle assessment (LCA) study is conducted for open-field (OF) and greenhouse (GH) strawberry cultivation in Guilan province, Iran. The initial data including input materials and energy inputs exercised during production season was collected from 33 greenhouse holders and 77 farmers in the studied region. Data for the production of used inputs were taken from the EcoInven ...

- Abstract:
- ... Conventional agricultural systems depend on high inputs of fertilizers and toxic pesticides that are a threat for human health and the environment. Such issues are rapidly changing agriculture in Europe. As a consequence sustainable production systems are currently developed as safer alternatives, for instance organic and low-input systems use of mechanical and biological methods versus toxic subs ...

- Abstract:
- ... Viticulture is currently experiencing a gradual shift to more sustainable production practices. Many producers see in this shift an opportunity to increase their sales, especially in a context which is greatly influenced by the reduction in wine sales due to the world economic crisis. Hence, both organic and biodynamic viticulture have begun to be applied in many vineyards as alternative attractiv ...

- Abstract:
- ... This paper presents the inclusion of new, relevant impact categories for agriculture life cycle assessments. We performed a specific case study with a focus on the applicability of spatially explicit characterization factors. The main goals were to provide a detailed evaluation of these new impact category methods, compare the results with commonly used methods (ReCiPe and USEtox) and demonstrate ...

- Abstract:
- ... This paper compares the water footprint profiles of four feedstocks used for biodiesel production: palm, soya, rapeseed and waste cooking oil (WCO). The profiles include: (a) a water scarcity footprint related to freshwater consumption impacts and (b) a water quality degradation footprint related to freshwater degradation impacts. The water scarcity footprint was assessed using two impact assessme ...

- Abstract:
- ... Diffuse pollution of water resources from agricultural sources is a major environmental issue in Europe. The nutrients released in groundwater from cultivated fields and livestock production, together with pesticides, are the main source of concern in the framework of the European Nitrates Directive (91/676/EEC). Southern Romania continues to represent one of the most important cereal production a ...

- Abstract:
- ... Residues of pharmaceuticals are ubiquitous in the environment, due to the increased use of drugs for treating humans and animals. If in agriculture water or biosolids from sewage treatment plants or manure from treated animals are used for irrigation or as a fertilizer respectively, drug residues may come into contact with plants. Subsequently these substances may be taken up, be translocated and ...

- Abstract:
- ... The environmental evaluation of fruits and vegetables in life cycle assessment (LCA) requires a proper estimation of pesticide emissions and associated (eco-)toxicity impacts. In response, we developed an approach to consistently combine state-of-the-art emission inventory and impact assessment models for assessing human toxicity and freshwater ecotoxicity impacts from pesticide applications, and ...
