Attributional LCA Consequential LCA Indirect land use change (iLUC) Carbon footprint Climate change mitigation 1. Introduction Concerns over climate change have led to the promotion of biofuels for transport, particularly biodiesel from oilseed crops and bioethanol from sugar and starch crops, for repl...
Utilizing a sociotechnical lens that examines food supply and agriculture, manufacturing, retail and distribution, and consumption and use, the review identifies the most carbon-intensive processes in the industry, as well as the corresponding energy and carbon “footprints”. It discusses multiple ...
Furthermore, it is generally admitted that the greenhouse footprint of biofuels depends to a larger extent on the benchmark situation that may render them good or bad according to Börjesson (2009) and on the implemented methodology as reported by Dorin and Gitz (2008). As a matter of ...

The implication is that efforts to educate consumers—such as British retailer Tesco's recent initiative to provide carbon-footprint information on all of its products—are also critical. Indeed, surveys show that consumers are open to being ...
In order to address the double challenge of Qatar of increasing local food self-sufficiency under extreme biophysical constraints while at the same time decreasing the C footprint the aim of this study is to: (1) develop a methodology to estimate GHG emissions based on the statistical available...
sequestered from the atmosphere during its cultivation [1,73]. Biomass provides two main routes to mitigating climate change: its growth removes CO2from the atmosphere, and then stores it over long time periods in soils, trees and other plants [12]. In reality, this mitigation potential depends...

As a workaround to this problem low carbon fuel use has been the key to mitigate it ...
Further, they revealed a reduction in total carbon footprint with decreasing fertilizers usage in China. Similarly, Jiang et al. [58] reported a 49.5% contribution from nitrogen fertilizer alone to the total carbon footprint in rice cultivation in China. In addition, they noticed a positive ...
