A survey of the life cycle assessment of food supply chains

Petra Vidergar et al.

Summary: Food supply chains have significant environmental impacts, requiring a study of the entire system from primary production to end-of-life waste solutions. The evaluation of existing studies focuses on the International Organization for Standardization framework to improve consistency and reliability, with potential improvements in goal and scope, inventory, and impact assessment. Research trends show a focus on production, use, system, and packaging, while the role of socio-economic effects in food life cycles remains overlooked.
