Description
The Agrifood database is collection of life cycle inventory data for agricultural and food products. This database can be used to analyse the environmental impacts of processes in the agricultural and food value chain and to determine the corresponding environmental hotspots.
The Agrifood database includes life cycle inventories for meat products, dairy products, plant based products, and processed products.
The Agrifood database is based on the life cycle inventory data compiled by the research groups Geography of Food and Life Cycle Assessment at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences in cooperation with the Centre for Sustainability & Energy and Eaternity.
