Assessing the carbon footprint across the supply chain: Cow milk vs soy drink

B. Coluccia et al.

Summary: The study shows that from an environmental perspective, soy drink can be an effective substitute for cow milk due to its lower carbon footprint, contributing to achieving food security objectives. However, from economic and nutritional perspectives, the high average consumer price of soy drink is associated with an overall lower nutritional level, requiring a 13% increase in consumption to reach the same protein intake as 1 L of cow milk.

Replacing soybean meal with okara meal: Effects on production, milk fatty acid and plasma amino acid profile, and nutrient utilization in dairy cows

Y. Zang et al.

Summary: Replacing soybean meal with okara meal in dairy diets did not negatively affect feed intake, milk production, nutrient utilization, or milk fatty acid profile in early- to mid-lactation Jersey cows. Okara meal can be a potential alternative feed ingredient for dairy cows without compromising production performance.

Environmental impacts of milk production and processing in the Eastern Alps: A cradle-to-dairy gate LCA approach

M. Berton et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the environmental footprint and feed energy conversion ratio of Alpine dairy chains in the Eastern Alps, and identified farm management features related to impacts and feed ratios. Results showed that milk yield, stocking rate, and percentages of concentrates are key farm management features affecting environmental impacts and feed energy conversion ratios.

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.
