Suitability of operational N direct field emissions models to represent contrasting agricultural situations in agricultural LCA: Review and prospectus

Angel Avadi et al.

Summary: This study reviewed commonly used nitrogen models for estimating direct field emissions of agricultural systems and assessed their suitability for various agricultural and pedoclimatic conditions. By analyzing the differences among models in predicting nitrogen losses, recommendations were provided for more accurate modeling of nitrogen losses.

Critical analysis of life cycle inventory datasets for organic crop production systems

Erica Montemayor et al.

Summary: This article critically analyzes the current inventory stage of organic crop LCIs and proposes improvements. It identifies unrepresentative PPP manufacturing and organic fertilizer treatment inventories as the main limitations, and suggests ways to improve them. The findings provide transparency and guidance for more representative OA LCIs and accurate comparisons between OA and conventional agriculture.

A life cycle sustainability assessment of organic and conventional pork supply chains in Sweden

Stanley Zira et al.

Summary: This study assessed the environmental, economic, and social sustainability of conventional and organic pork supply chains in Sweden, finding that organic pork outperformed conventional pork in most indicators, but was less sustainable in a few indicators due to higher feed requirements per kg of pork.
