Life Cycle Assessment & Carbon Footprints
• Essential basis for making the agri-food sector more sustainable is accurate and clear information;
• A food specific LCI database did not exist;
• Need for agri-food LCIs due to;▪ Approximately 25% of all LCAs are agri-food related
▪ Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) projects (EU)
• No opportunities to publish company-specific data in LCI databases;
• Since 2014 available for SimaPro users.

Agri-footprint® 3.0What is new?
19
PESTICIDE PRODUCTIONLife cycle inventories (LCIs) for the production of pesticides were added. Three different types of LCIs were generated; LCI’s for the production of specific pesticides, for specific pesticide families and for pesticide families.
CAPITAL GOODSLCIs for the production of tractors, basic farm infrastructure and storage silos are now included in Agri-footprint, and linked to the crop inventories.
EXPANSION OF PROCESSING SCOPEAmongst others groundnut processing, ethanol production, fish meal and oil production are now included.
MORE COMPANY SPECIFIC DATAData for the production of humic acid production from Vitens are now included in the database
UPDATES OF BACKGROUND DATAMost recent FAO statistics for crop yields, and manure application, most recent land use change tool, IFA statistics on fertilizer consumptions in countries.
EXPANSION OF SCOPE FOR CROPSThe global coverage of the production of crops has been expanded (i.e. more crop country combinations).
SMALL ADDITIONS AND BUG FIXESCorrection of small errors. Addition of transport of goods to the farm.
SEED PRODUCTIONLife cycle inventories (LCIs) for the production of seeds were added.
