Diet-related greenhouse gas emissions and major food contributors among Japanese adults: comparison of different calculation methods

Minami Sugimoto et al.

Summary: By using three different calculation methods, the average daily diet-related greenhouse gas emissions per day for Japanese adults varied significantly. There were also significant differences at the food group level. Regardless of the method used, meat was consistently identified as the top contributor to greenhouse gas emissions.

Scenario Analysis of a Municipality's Food Purchase to Simultaneously Improve Nutritional Quality and Lower Carbon Emission for Child-Care Centers

Anne Dahl Lassen et al.

Summary: Public procurement is seen as a strategic tool to drive sustainable development, and this study focused on reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25% for food purchased by child-care centers in Copenhagen while ensuring nutritionally adequate, affordable, and tasty menus. By modeling two scenarios, plant-rich and lacto-ovo vegetarian diets, guidelines for menu planning were developed with increased plant-based foods and reduced animal fats and meats. These changes in public food procurement have the potential to significantly impact the transition to a healthier and more sustainable food system.

Attributional & Consequential Life Cycle Assessment: Definitions, Conceptual Characteristics and Modelling Restrictions

Thomas Schaubroeck et al.

Summary: Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a common method to assess the potential environmental impact of human/industrial systems, with attributional (ALCA) and consequential (CLCA) being two prominent types. This article aims to argue for and select definitions for each concept, specify their characteristics, and go beyond current findings. ALCA attributes environmental impact to a product life cycle, while CLCA assesses the consequences of decisions, with different modelling restrictions and evaluation approaches for each type.
