Life Cycle Models of Food Inputs and Outputs

Life Cycle Models of Food Inputs and Outputs

• Systems Models or LCA Life Cycle Assessment
• From production to processing to consumption to
  waste
• Greenhouse gasses (carbon dioxide , hydrogen,
  nitrogen emissions) and global warming
• Take away messages-
• 1. Eat locally, seasonally
• 2. Reduce beef and corn consumption
• 3. Recycle- compost, containers

LCA

• An LCA is an assessment of the environmental
  effects a product or service has during its
  lifetime, from cradle to grave. In an LCA all the
  important processes during the products lifecycle
  is included. An LCA can for example be used for
  assessing how much greenhouse gas is emitted to
  the environment during the production of one
  litre milk. The site is constructed as follows
