Food production needs to increase in a sustainable way. This great challenge requires evaluation methods that gives information for better understanding of the impacts from agriculture and food and how to manage those impacts. The project addresses methodologies that include a broad range of environmental impacts to be used for holistic environmental evaluations of agri-food systems. This is done through analyzing and developing frameworks (data, methods and impact indicators) for environmental sustainability evaluation of agri-food systems, testing the frameworks in an innovative agricultural system including grass-based biorefineries and associated feed and dairy production, and making recommendations on the use of the assessment frameworks. A project stakeholder group consisting of representatives from agri-food industry, farmers´ and advisory organisations, regional and national boards and agencies and NGO:s is included in the research activities, e.g. through workshops.
Matproduktionen behöver ökas hållbart. Detta är en stor utmaning och det behövs metoder för att utvärdera miljöpåverkan från jordbruks- och matproduktion liksom de åtgärder som föreslås för att minska påverkan. Projektet undersöker metodiker för att mäta flera miljöaspekter för att få en totalbild av jordbrukets och matens miljöprestanda. Vi gör en genomgång av litteraturen om ramverk för miljöutvärdering (dvs data, metoder och påverkansindikatorer), analyserar och utvecklar dessa ramverk vidare genom att testa dem på ett innovativt jordbrukssystem där gräs och klöver processas i ett bioraffinaderi till bioenergi, högkvalitativt proteinfoder och en fiberråvara som kan användas som foder eller i ett längre perspektiv som råvara för nya biomaterial. Analyserna kommer resultera i rekommendationer för hur ramverk och metodiker för miljöutvärdering kan användas för att beskriva matens hållbarhet. En intressentgrupp knyts till projektet och deltar i forskningen bl a via workshoppar.

Conventional technology is virtually unable to measure complete GHG budgets of drained organic soils, which may provide misleading results. So, global estimates of GHG emissions are based on coarse assumptions that don’t take into account the complexity of agroecosystems. Better data are needed for …
