“…As an innovative approach, CExD evaluates various problems of energy use in the process of crop production. Some parameters can be acutely addressed by CExD analysis such as renewability indicator computations and cumulative degree of perfect [21] . Finally, six energy forms of CExD analysis, namely, Renewable, kinetic, Non-renewable, fossil, Renewable, potential, Non-renewable, minerals, Non-renewable, primary, and Non-renewable, metals, are surveyed in this data paper based on separated inputs ( Table 2 ).…”

With an increasing demand of horticultural crops, it is critical to examine environmental damages and exergy impacts and evaluate their potential in producing sustainable products of agricultural systems. As such, environmental midpoints of five dominated horticultural products, namely, hazelnut, watermelon, tea, kiwifruit, and citrus, are scrutinized using life cycle assessment approach in Guilan province, Iran. Each crop is considered under a separate scenario and 10 tons of yield is determined as the functional unit. ReCiPe2016, as a new approach, is used for computation of 17 midpoints. Moreover, a weighting analysis is undertaken to find the share of each input in environmental damages with dimensionless notation. In the second part of this paper, cumulative exergy demand (CExD) is applied for evaluation of energy forms in each scenario. Data are presented under two sectors in the main article. The first part is midpoint results of each crop and the second part depicts energy forms of CExD with input rate in each category. Besides, the supplementary files contain raw material of each input, midpoint physical rate, share of each input to contribute midpoint, raw data of weighted damages and share of each input in total weighted damages.

“…In the production of strawberries (Yildizhan 2018), tomatoes (Yildizhan and Taki 2018), and apples (Yildizhan et al 2021), fertilizers (nitrogen and manure) was reported as the most important energy-intensive input. According to Zand Salimi et al ( 2007) on manures, chicken manure had the highest amount of bacteria with high impacts on environmental pollution.…”

“…The CO2 emissions value per ton of onions was 3 times the amount of carbon dioxide emissions per ton of green onions. In the production of open field tomato (Yildizhan and Taki 2018), open field strawberries (Yildizhan 2018), greenhouse strawberries (Yildizhan 2018), greenhouse cucumbers (Taki and Yildizhan 2018), and wet wheat (Yildizhan and Taki 2019), the inputs of irrigation operations-i.e. electricity to extract water from deep wells and irrigation water-were the most important factors in GHG emission.…”

Regarding the high consumption of allium vegetables such as onion and green onion in the daily food basket of families, it is important to study the sustainability of their agricultural system. Thus, a thermodynamic analysis was carried out to assess the sustainability of the cultivation method management using an exergy-based approach. Onions and green onions were evaluated for mechanized cultivation and for traditional cultivation, respectively. The use of renewable energy in the cultivation system was proposed in the numerical method. The sustainability index and exergetic improvement potential were calculated. Moreover, and the improvement of CDP and RI factors was investigated based on the CExC approach. The results indicated energy consumption of 1 ton of onion production was 2.5 times that of green onion production. The human labor and electricity as energy-intensive inputs in the process of green onion and onion production, respectively. The GHG emission of 1 ton of onion production was obtained 3 times that of green onion production. The results showed that the impact of using the new strategy in the agricultural system of green onions is less than onions, due to the high human labor requirement in green onion production, which made the production of green onions even more unsustainable than the production of onions, despite less consumption energy in green onion production.

“…The key EU member countries in tomato processing, such as Italy, Spain, and Portugal (72% of EU's total (Eurostat, 2016)), are globally relevant as well, and it is expected that the EU will become a net exporter of processed tomatoes by 2030 (European Commission, 2017). Since tomato processing is relatively emission‐intensive and generates large quantities of tomato byproducts (such as peels and seeds) (Brodt, Kramer, Kendall, & Feenstra, 2013; Kalogeropoulos, Chiou, Pyriochou, Peristeraki, & Karathanos, 2012; Yildizhan & Taki, 2018), it becomes essential to understand the efficiency of the tomato supply chain beyond production.…”

Tomato and tomato products are the most consumed vegetables worldwide. However, reduction of their relatively high emission intensity can be a key to mitigating greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of the agrifood sector. Using the European Union (EU) and its 28 member states as example, we mapped the mass flow and analyzed the efficiency of the entire tomato supply chain from farm to fork for the year 2016. We then explored potentials of a full spectrum of GHG emission mitigation strategies ranging from production‐efficiency improvement to process optimization, food‐waste reduction, trade‐pattern change, and diet‐structure change, both individually and in an integrated framework. The results showed that 63% of tomato loss and waste occurred at the processing and consumption stages (over half in Italy and Spain), and 54% of GHG emissions were from production (notably greenhouse based). Although the reduction of tomato products consumption (considered as the substitution by other vegetables) presented the highest potential of emissions reduction, reducing retailing and consumption waste were found to have great effect on GHG emissions reduction as well for all EU member states, especially for United Kingdom and Germany. The combined effects of different mitigation strategies with high levels of change could reduce GHG emissions by 39% compared to the current level.
