Research need from Focus Group: Develop and adopt specific LCA and environmental risk assessment methodologies for agricultural systems as the current methods were designed particularly for industrial processes

As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

This is the problem:

This need for research has been identified in FG 19 on “Nutrient recycling”. If you want to know more about it, check the final report of the Focus Group.

Life Cycle Analysis and risk assessment often use information from theoretical databases which themselves were derived from other fields of (industrial) application for which they are more adapted. However, dedicated data and modelling methodologies are required for agricultural processes. In the pursuit of more dedicated assessment methodologies, great care is required for appropriate standardisation.
