This paper presents the inclusion of new, relevant impact categories for agriculture life cycle assessments. We performed a specific case study with focus on applicability spatially explicit characterization factors. The main goals were to provide detailed evaluation these new category methods, compare results commonly used methods (ReCiPe and USEtox) demonstrate how can help improve environmental assessment in agriculture. As an overall conclusion, newly developed helped fill most important...
ISHS XXVIII International Horticultural Congress on Science and Horticulture for People (IHC2010): Symposium Greenhouse 2010 Soilless Cultivation ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF DUTCH TOMATO CROP PRODUCTION IN A VENLO GLASSHOUSE
Three catch crop species, ryegrass, forage rape and black oat, were grown between successive rotations of maize to reduce nitrogen leaching due fertilization with digested dairy manure. Catch crops showed a high nutrient uptake, but wide range, depending on the year specie. Ensiling was shown be feasible storing method increasing methane production per hectare 14–36% compared fresh crop. In semi-continuous co-digestion experiments, increased 35–48%, in comparison anaerobic digestion manure...
The environmental impacts associated with fossil energy use, in addition to water and fertilization management continue be major concerns for Northern greenhouse production systems. To reduce the of farming under climate conditions maintain its competitiveness, use renewable sources suitable nutrient are becoming essential. From this perspective, a closed-loop demarcated bed-grown organic system that increases efficiency utilizes waste biomass as source was developed tested province Quebec,...
