The data quality and coverage of Agri-footprint is improved with each release, and the database now contains approximately 5,000 products and processes.
The database is developed using the ReCiPe Midpoint H (version 1.07, 2016) LCA method and three allocation methods can be applied: mass, energy, and economic allocation. Furthermore, many processes are modeled in alignment with the Product Environmental Footprint (PEF) guidance of the European Commission. Since its release in 2014, various organizations have used Agri-footprint for applications such as product Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs), carbon footprinting, hotspot analysis, labeling schemes and implementation in sustainability software solutions and services.Īgri-footprint has been widely accepted by the food industry, the LCA community, the scientific community, and governmental institutions.
