“…Studies that used LCA data for comparative purposes but did not attempt to integrate inventories (e.g. [27,28]) or that had unclear methodology with unreachable authors [29] are not included in the review. Overall, ten articles are included in our analysis (Table 1).…”

The energy supply chain is the backbone of industrialised societies, but it is also one of the leading causes of global environmental burden. Life cycle management (LCM) and life cycle assessment (LCA) are increasingly being used in combination with energy system optimisation models (ESOM) to better represent the energy sector and its dynamics, and facilitate better decision-making. The integration of ESOM and LCA can enable powerful analyses, but not without difficulties. In this chapter, we review studies linking a well-known bottom-up ESOM (TIMES) with LCA databases and identify the principal challenges and how they have been addressed. One of the main integration challenges is the identification of equivalent processes between life cycle inventories and ESOM databases: the mapping problem. Other concomitant issues such as double counting and parameter consistency have been identified and are also investigated.

“…Other studies performed multi-objective optimisation for both environmental sustainability and economic performance of dairy products [36,37]. Several studies also assessed the future energy performance of dairy production by simulating potentially more sustainable scenarios in terms of energy mix and the specific combinations of different energy sources [38,39]. However, there is no existing work in the literature that offers a flexible model for food systems' manufacturing and distribution that is capable of evaluating different scenarios and assessing for each scenario their energy and sustainability performance.…”

“…subsidies and taxes), regulatory measures (i.e. government sustainability targets in the food domain), public procurement, information and behaviour change campaigns, and education initiatives (Farchi et al, 2017;Frenette et al, 2017;Garnett et al, 2015;Hallström et al, 2017;Hyland et al, 2017;Springmann et al, 2017). However, despite the environmental and public health bene ts of sustainable diets, there has been very little, if any, uptake of policy actions by governments world-wide to meaningfully address the issue (see for example: Bailey et 2011) express similar sentiments about the current situation in which interest in and initiatives regarding sustainable diet policies, and in particular reduction of meat consumption, are practically nonexistent and seen as politically taboo.…”

Background: Application of theories of the policy process are needed to help explain the dynamics of policy status and change. Methods: A systematic review of application of theories of the policy process to sustainable diet research was conducted.Results: The review identified that 296 papers presented ideas for sustainable diet policy but only 17 provided coverage of the process by which such policies could become enacted. The majority of papers in the field of sustainable diets were diet modelling studies which used quantitative methods to analyse the metrics of different diets. Many of these papers also included policy recommendations but these were made without any insights into the policy process. Studies which did include policy discussion were largely focused on the evaluation of past policies or analysis of potential policy options rather than focused on the policy process itself. Seventeen papers included discussion of some key influences on policy making that are routinely included as elements within theories of the policy process but did not specifically name or utilise a political science theory of the policy process. Most notably these elements were the influence of coalitions/networks, evidence use, narratives and framing, institutional and political system factors, and the importance of value and belief systems and socio-cultural norms.Conclusions: There is a significant research gap in the application of political science theories of the policy process to sustainable diet research. Given the lack of policy action in the area on a global scale there is an urgent need for more research applying robust policy process theories to help understand and explain the lack of action and suggest possible ways to increase attention and action on the issue from decision makers.
