“…The other is forward linkage (FL), which is employed to reflect the linkage between sector i and its downstream sectors. Equations (7) and (8) provide the calculation formula for BL and FL [17]. From the perspective of supply and demand relationships, BL i reflects the dependence degree of sector i on the supply of its upstream sectors, while FL i shows the dependence degree of sector i on the demand of its downstream sectors.…”

“…However, this surge means that China's dairy consumption is increasingly dependent on large dairy exporting countries, such as New Zealand and Australia, which has triggered varying impacts on China's dairy market and China's industrial structure [4][5][6]. Therefore, it is indispensable to investigate the impacts of imported raw milk powder (IMP) consumption on different economic sectors in China [7,8].…”

Raw milk powder is one of most important raw materials for dairy processing and manufacturing. In the past decade, the rapid growth of imported raw milk powder (IMP) consumption has brought about significant impacts on China's social economy. For more in-depth analysis of such impacts, this study develops a comprehensive IMP consumption model for China covering 2007-2015 based on the input-output analysis method from the perspective of material metabolism. In detail, material flows and consumption analysis are employed to reveal the direct and indirect IMP consumption and supply of various sectors. Using an innovative hierarchy analysis and network utility analysis, the internal structure of the IMP consumption system and consumption relationships between different sectors are identified. Due to the increasing intensive production activities between the manufacture and processing of the dairy products sector and others, its downstream sectors have grown rapidly and the consumption relationships with others are mostly mutualism. The surge in IMP has caused dramatic changes in consumption relationships, which has the greatest impact on the service sectors, followed by manufacturing sectors. The rapid increase in IMP consumption has put great pressure on the supply and consumption of intermediate products of many sectors.

Economic Energy Efficiency of Food Production Systems

The current global population growth forecast carries with it a global increase in demand for food. In order to meet this demand, it is necessary to increase production, which requires an increase in energy consumption. However, forecasted energy production growth is insufficient and traditional sources of energy are limited; hence, it is necessary to strive for greater energy efficiency in food production systems. The study aimed to compare the economic energy efficiency of food production systems in selected countries and identify the sources of diversification in this field. As a measure of energy efficiency, the indicators of the energy intensity of food production were used in this study. To calculate these indicators, a method based on input-output life-cycle assessment assumptions was used, which enables researchers to obtain fully comparable results between countries. The study showed that despite an increase in energy consumption in the food production systems of the analyzed countries by an average of 27%, from 19.3 EJ to 24.5 EJ, from 2000 to 2014, their energy intensity decreased, on average, by more than 18%, from 8.5 MJ/USD to 6.9 MJ/USD. This means that energy efficiency improvements are possible even under conditions of increased energy consumption, which in turn, means that food production can increase significantly. In the case of developed countries, the main inefficiencies are found in agricultural production, while in developing countries, they are observed in the food industry. Decision-makers should also pay attention to the high level of energy intensity that results from the supply of inputs to agriculture and the food industry because there is great potential for the improvement of energy efficiency in this field, especially because energy consumption associated with supply constitutes a major part of total consumption in the food production systems of developed countries.

“…Cela implique de multiplier les représentations métaboliques (pas toujours compatibles entre elles) et d'embrasser la diversité de points de vue et des dimensions du métabolisme des BOA (Gabriel et al, 2020). En outre, approfondir les hypothèses sur les empreintes permettrait de questionner les compromis entre performances économiques et environnementales (Khonpikul et al, 2017). Source : les auteurs.…”

La bioéconomie est devenue incontournable pour la transition vers une économie décarbonée. Elle favorise le développement des usages non alimentaires des biomasses d'origine agricole (BOA). Or peu de méthodes et outils permettent -sans travail de terrain préalable -d'esquisser des hypothèses sur le fonctionnement bioéconomique d'un territoire, des étapes de production des BOA jusqu'à leur valorisation. Ainsi, cet article propose une approche métabolique opérationnelle, à partir de données en libre accès, et une grille d'analyse traitant des dimensions d'ancrage, d'autonomie et d'empreintes énergétique, environnementale et socio-économique. Cette proposition est mise à l'épreuve de deux territoires, permettant un diagnostic préliminaire à une application sur le terrain. MOTS-CLÉS : agriculture, agroalimentaire, bioéconomie, économie écologique, collecte de données Proto-metabolism: An approach to the bioeconomic functioning of an agricultural regionThe bioeconomy has become politically unavoidable for the transition to a carbon-free economy. It promotes the development of non-food uses of agricultural biomass. However, few methods and tools allow us-without prior fieldwork-to outline hypotheses on the bioeconomic functioning of a territory, from the stages of agricultural biomass production to its valorization. Thus, this article proposes an operational metabolic approach, based on open data, and a framework for analysis that deals with dimensions of embeddedness, autonomy, and energetic, environmental, and socioeconomic footprints. This proposal is put to the test within two territories, enabling a preliminary assessment to be made before any field application. (JEL: 013, Q57, C8).
