Abstract Purpose Organic agriculture (OA) has gained widespread popularity due to its view as a more sustainable method of farming. Yet OA and conventional (CA) can be found have similar or varying environmental performance using tools such life cycle assessment (LCA). However, the current state LCA does not accurately reflect effects OA; thus aim present study was identify gaps in inventory stage suggest improvements. Methods This article presents for first time critical analysis (LCI)...
The potential beneficial and harmful social impacts generated by the introduction of novel technologies, in general, those concerning nutrient recovery improvement efficiency agriculture, particular, have received little attention, as shown literature. This study investigated current agricultural practices Belgium, Germany Spain, technologies introduced agriculture to reduce losses. Based on 65 indicators used PSILCA database, greatest baselines are related fair salaries, biomass...
The purpose of the study was to evaluate use and suggest possible adjustments indicators biodiversity loss for LCA proposed by Chaudhary Books (2018). For this, we analyzed soybean production in Brazil. Potential damage has been determined all Brazilian ecoregions: Amazon; Atlantic forest; Caatinga; Cerrado; Pampas; Pantanal. Two dimensions assessment were considered – global regional addition Average-country. An adjustment vulnerability coefficient Average-country Brazil: Regional Species...
Abstract Purpose Several models are available in the literature to estimate agricultural emissions. From life cycle assessment (LCA) perspective, there is no standardized procedure for estimating emissions of nitrogen or other nutrients. This article aims compare four (PEF, SALCA, Daisy and Animo) with different complexity levels test their suitability sensitivity LCA. Methods Required input data, obtained outputs, main characteristics presented. Then, performance was evaluated according...
The adverse effects of agriculture and livestock production on the environment are well-known require mitigation in order to achieve sustainability food chain. This study focused related biogeochemical flows phosphorus nitrogen cycles which natural balances have been greatly disturbed by current practices. To assess potential benefits detrimental proposed measures, adequate impact indicators required. challenge lies identifying providing that cover important aspects environmental allow a...
To observe and compare the environmental impacts of different types infant feeding, considering use formula, feeding accessories, potentially increased maternal dietary intake during breastfeeding (BF) food consumption habits.
This study simulated the water scarcity footprint (WSF) of cocoa irrigation in municipalities considered suitable for growing state Bahia, according to agro climatic zoning. Irrigation demand was calculated using model proposed by FAO (Food and Agriculture Organization United Nations). Subsequently, impact on product crop characterization factors regionalized AWARE method Brazil. The WSF Bahia ranged between 0.28 646.5 m³ per kilo produced. From defined scale, 417 cocoa, 59% have a 'low'...
Fortaleza é um município brasileiro, capital do estado Ceará, situado na região Nordeste país. É a maior cidade Ceará em população e quinta Brasil, segundo dados IBGE (2016), abriga uma de cerca 2.609.716 habitantes. nordestina com área influência regional possui terceira rede urbana Brasil população, atrás apenas São Paulo Rio Janeiro. Esse destaque impõe à gestão resíduos valor muito relevante, se tornando assim importante objeto estudo diversas áreas. A partir da Lei 6938/81 Politica...
A Avaliação do Ciclo de Vida apresenta diversos modelos para avaliar a escassez hídrica em uma região. Dentre os principais disponíveis, têm-se o proposto por Pfister e Bayern, que gera fatores expressando potencial bacias hidrográficas todo mundo. Esses foram obtidos utilizando-se dados demanda disponibilidade oriundos hidrológicos globais. Nesse trabalho, calcularam-se regionalizados as sub-bacias cearenses, partir uso nacionais, comparando-os com valores originais modelo identificar...
