The aim is to create practical guidelines for the LCA community and the main actors of the agro-food chains: farmers, manufacturing companies, consumers and others. The book is focused on some of the most relevant and productive agri-food supply chains, including olive oil, wine, cereals and derived products, meats, dairy products and fruit. The first chapter introduces key concerns, applications, and methodological uncertainties of the application of life cycle assessment (LCA) principles and practices to the agri-food sector, offering an overview of the main dietary issues, which acknowledges the importance of consumer behaviour. Chapter 2 focuses on the olive oil industry, an economically significant sector. The authors undertake a review of international LCA implementation, a description of LCA implementation problems and application guidelines. The third chapter surveys the wine sector, offering a critical review of existing LCA methodologies and case studies, and a description of scientifically sound environmental improvements suggested by published LCAs. Chapter 4 covers the principal cereal and derived products, presents conclusions and describes the main hot spots in the cereal supply chain. Chapter 5 explores livestock and derived edible products, a sector which has an important economical role and which is associated with adverse environmental effects, covering LCA implementations, methodological problems and best practices. The final chapter focuses on fruit products, among the less environmentally damaging foods in western diets. After an overview of the European fruit industry, the authors discuss methodological problems concerned with the application of LCA to the sector and propose practical guidelines. 606 $aEnvironmental management 606 $aSustainable development 606 $aEnvironment 606 $aPollution prevention 606 $aFood?Biotechnology 606 $aEnvironmental Management$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U17009 606 $aSustainable Development$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U34000 606 $aEnvironment, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U00009 606 $aIndustrial Pollution Prevention$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/U35020 606 $aFood Science$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C15001 615 0$aEnvironmental management. 615 0$aSustainable development. 615 0$aEnvironment. 615 0$aPollution prevention. 615 0$aFood?Biotechnology. 615 14$aEnvironmental Management. 615 24$aSustainable Development. 615 24$aEnvironment, general. 615 24$aIndustrial Pollution Prevention. 615 24$aFood Science. 676 $a333.7 676 $a338.927 676 $a363.737 676 $a641.3 702 $aNotarnicola$b Bruno$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aSalomone$b Roberta$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aPetti$b Luigia$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRenzulli$b Pietro A$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRoma$b Rocco$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCerutti$b Alessandro K$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910299435703321 996 $aLife Cycle Assessment in the Agri-food Sector$92531238 997 $aUNINA
