Murphy |Food is at the centre of efforts to combat climate change, reduce water stress, pollution, and conserve the world's wildlife. Assessing the environmental performance of food companies is essential to provide a comprehensive view of the productio[...]
Article
Life cycle assessment (LCA) is applied to assess large-scale systems supporting policymaking. However, most LCA studies focused on evaluating the impacts of policies and strategic planning on a static basis ignoring the dynamic nature of the ter[...]
Article
V. Vaglia ; J. Bacenetti ; F. Orlando ; S. Alali ; E. Bosso ; S. Bocchi |Rice cultivation has a key role in food security worldwide; on the other hand, it has a high potential impact on the environment and human health, mainly due to the extensive pesticides use and greenhouse gas emissions caused by flooded cultivat[...]
Article
N. Casolani ; M. D'Eusanio ; L. Liberatore ; A. Raggi ; L. Petti |The application of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) in the wine sector has received a particular attention in the last years. The inventory phase represents an important and sometimes critical issue for LCA analysts. This paper presents a systematic [...]
Article
Vineyards in southeastern Spain, although subjected to a semi-arid climate, generate multiple environmental and socioeconomic benefits. However, they have an uncertain future, mainly due to the price of grapes, as well as the limited water resou[...]
Article
M. Degieter ; X. Gellynck ; S. Goyal ; D. Ott ; H. De Steur |Because of the increasing challenges the global food system is facing on a social, economic and environmental level, and the need to meet the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, agri-food systems are increasingly require[...]

Environmental perspectives for food loss reduction via smart sensors: a global life cycle assessment
This study incorporates theoretical and empirical perspectives in developing an understanding that, whether there is a leverage on the key environmental impacts through the potential large-scale application of Internet of Things (IoT) in the foo[...]
Article
The circular economy (CE) has emerged as a strategy able to fulfil the double purpose of improving the economic performance of the agricultural activity while minimising the impact generated on the environment by reducing the inflow of resources[...]
Article
L. Verdi ; A. Dalla Marta ; F. Falconi ; S. Orlandini ; M. Mancini |Assessing the environmental impact of agriculture is a key factor towards reducing human impacts on the food production chain. Because of the growing consumer interest in healthy foods cultivated with low-impact approach, a study assessing the i[...]
Article
The food system plays a crucial role in mitigating climate change. Even if fossil fuel emissions are halted immediately, current trends in global food systems may prevent the achieving of the Paris Agreement's climate targets. The high degree of[...]
Article
S. Zingale ; P. Guarnaccia ; A. Matarazzo ; G. Lagioia ; C. Ingrao |It is recognised today that the global food system does not always deliver good nutrition for all human beings, and, additionally, dramatically contributes to climate change, environmental degradation, and biodiversity loss. In particular, the c[...]
Article
F. Boenzi ; S. Digiesi ; F. Facchini ; B. Silvestri |The agri-food supply chain is responsible for high GHG emissions. In industrial food processing, there is potential for reducing environmental impacts. In the case of apricot jam, several practices for realizing the finished product can be adopt[...]
