Agri-food Industry

Half of the terrestrial surface is dedicated to agriculture activities, which corresponds to almost 15% of greenhouse gas emissions. In order to respond to the increasing demand of agriculture products by the growing demography, production and consumption systems must be redesigned to achieve more sustainability. Indeed, it is necessary to modify agriculture models to be able to produce better, avoiding the use of more land and reducing water, energy, fertilizers and pesticides consumption.

The impacts of the Life Cycle of an agriculture product must calculated by Life Cycle Assessment methods to orientate stakeholders on how to ecodesign their processes. In this sector, the environmental declarations of products are becoming more frequent, especially due to final consumers demand.
