“…is emitted per production of 1 tonne of packaged organic quinoa (Cancino-Espinoza et al 2018). In a study by Habibi et al (2019), the effect of rice cultivation on GWP impact was analyzed in Amol and Rasht counties and obtained as 277 and 276 kg CO 2eq. per tonnes of rice, respectively.…”

Quinoa is an adaptable plant that is rich in terms of nutritional properties. Currently, the promotion and cultivation of quinoa are expanding in Iran. The present study aimed to investigate the energy consumption of quinoa grain production and its environmental impacts through life cycle assessment. In this regard, in order to evaluate the environmental and energy indices, required data were collected from quinoa farmers in Isfahan. The high energy ratio (ER > 1) and positive net energy show that quinoa cultivation is efficient. Based on the results, irrigation water and nitrate fertilizer were identified as the major contributors to energy consumption. Based on the normalization method, the highest and lowest environmental impacts during the production process were related to the indices of marine aquatic ecotoxicity and ozone layer depletion, respectively. Results showed that in the global warming potential impact, 354 kg CO 2eq. were emitted per production of 1 tonne of quinoa grain. Diesel fuel and nitrogen fertilizer had a significant effect on most environmental impacts. Proper management of chemical fertilizers and agricultural machinery are key factors for sustainable cultivation of quinoa.

“…In www.nature.com/scientificreports/ other words, this food production system can mitigate the environmental impacts of the abovementioned ICs, due to utilization of bio-waste (mushroom production waste and banana peels) to feed insects by turning something harmful for environment into compost. Previous studies on the LCA of chicken [4][5][6] , beef 2,3 , milk [40][41][42] , and crop production 43 have shown that the production of these protein sources has negative environmental effects on all investigated ICs. Moreover, negative environmental effects on some ICs, namely, ozone layer depletion, non-renewable energy, aquatic eutrophication, ionizing radiation, carcinogens, aquatic acidification, non-carcinogens, respiratory inorganics, respiratory organics, terrestrial acid/nutria, and global warming, have been observed.…”

Because it is important to develop new sustainable sources of edible protein, insects have been recommended as a new protein source. This study applied Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) to investigate the environmental impact of small-scale edible insect production unit in South Korea. IMPACT 2002 + was applied as the baseline impact assessment (IA) methodology. The CML-IA baseline, EDIP 2003, EDP 2013, ILCD 2011 Midpoint, and ReCiPe midpoint IA methodologies were also used for LCIA methodology sensitivity analysis. The protein, fat contents, and fatty acid profile of the investigated insect (Protaetia brevitarsis seulensis larvae) were analyzed to determine its potential food application. The results revealed that the studied edible insect production system has beneficial environmental effects on various impact categories (ICs), i.e., land occupation, mineral extraction, aquatic and terrestrial ecotoxicity, due to utilization of bio-waste to feed insects. This food production system can mitigate the negative environmental effects of those ICs, but has negative environmental impact on some other ICs such as global warming potential. By managing the consumption of various inputs, edible insects can become an environmentally efficient food production system for human nutrition.

“…Hence, there is a need to explore more sustainable agricultural production methods that would be better for the environment while also resulting in better yield. Life cycle assessment is widely used for achieving sustainable agricultural goals (Habibi et al 2019 ; Islam et al 2017). He et al ( 2018 ), Mungkung et al ( 2019 ), and Yodkhum et al ( 2017 ) opted for LCA method to find the hotspot where there are high GHGs emission impacts from agricultural production.…”

Agriculture, forestry, and other land use approximately contribute to 24 percent of 2010 global greenhouse gas (GHGs) emissions. This study, therefore, focuses on assessing the environmental impacts of jasmine rice production. The life cycle assessment method is used to find the hotspots that are of high environmental impacts. Face-to-face interviewing was conducted with 49 rice producers engaged in chemical, organic, and good agricultural practices in farming activities. The results show that most of the emissions were caused during the post-harvest management stage. Following eco-efficiency, organic jasmine rice production offers a reduction in the consumption of resources, reduced impact on the environment, and increased product value. Furthermore, our study shows that crop residue is a key to increase rice yields and decrease GHGs emissions. Our findings thus add to the limited literature on organic jasmine rice production and propose a recommendation for policymakers to promote sustainable agricultural practices to reduce the environmental impact.
