Multi-actor Horizon 2020 projects in agriculture, forestry and related sectors: A Multi-level Innovation System framework (MINOS) for identifying multi-level system failures

Evelien Cronin et al.

Summary: The main EU policy supporting innovation in agriculture and related sectors is the European Innovation Partnership for Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability, which utilizes an interactive innovation model and funds multi-actor projects through the H2020 program. However, there is a lack of systematic research on these projects due to the absence of a structured analytical approach to accommodate the differences in institutional, cultural, and social contexts that influence co-innovation and social learning processes in multinational, multi-actor partnerships.

Review and expert survey of allocation methods used in life cycle assessment of milk and beef

Venla Kytta et al.

Summary: The study reviewed different allocation methods used in LCA studies of milk and beef production, with biophysical allocation being the most common and economic allocation being the second most common. However, by-products are often not considered in these studies, with allocation typically done between milk and meat.

Step-by-step social life cycle assessment framework: a participatory approach for the identification and prioritization of impact subcategories applied to mobility scenarios

Ghada Bouillass et al.

Summary: The study aims to identify and evaluate social and socio-economic impact subcategories in S-LCA, proposing a participatory approach for selecting relevant impact subcategories in the assessment of electric and conventional vehicles. The comprehensive S-LCA framework and the participatory approach are found to be useful in improving the local relevance of S-LCA results and in extending the scope of materiality assessment by involving multiple stakeholders.

Bovine and ovine meat co-products valorisation opportunities: A systematic literature review

Ankush P. Shirsath et al.

Summary: The red meat industry generates large quantities of offal and meat co-products, which can pose a threat to the environment and human health if not properly managed. However, there are opportunities to create various products from these materials, such as food, pharmaceuticals, and animal feed. Capitalizing on these opportunities will require demonstration, industrial-scale development, and changes to industry practices to create a circular bio-economy model with positive economic, environmental, and social impacts.

Environmental impacts of animal-based food supply chains with market characteristics

Wenhao Chen et al.

Summary: Animal-based food supply chains have significant environmental impacts influenced by production systems, distribution networks, and consumption patterns. Life cycle assessment was used to model the environmental impacts of different animal-based food chains and found that reduction in food waste and use of sustainable aviation fuel can lead to significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.
