The impact of greenhouse gas emissions in the EU food chain: A quantitative and economic assessment using an environmentally extended input-output approach

Consumer behaviour in the prediction of postharvest losses reduction for fresh strawberries packed in modified atmosphere packaging

“…In spite of upcoming advances in energy production techniques that reduce costs and environmental impacts of the cold chain, refrigeration still has environmental and economic implications for the food industry. The use of refrigeration is, indeed, still a major contributor to global energy consumption, accounting for 15 % of the electricity consumed worldwide (Camanzi et al, 2017;Coulomb, 2008;Matarolo, 1990). However, MAP technology also carries financial costs and environmental impacts that must be put into balance with its environmental benefit.…”

Comparing nutritional, economic, and environmental performances of diets according to their levels of greenhouse gas emissions

“…Three gases contribute for almost 91.5% to the agricultural total emissions, nitrous oxide (N 2 O), methane (CH 4 ) and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ). CH 4 and N 2 O emissions are generally limited to the agricultural phase, while CO 2 emissions are spread out among the whole food chain (3). At the agricultural stage, some measures and innovative processes (e.g.…”

Using blockchain technology to drive operational excellence in perishable food supply chains during outbreaks

“…The literature of the environmental impact of PFSCs consists mainly of reducing energy consumption and CO2-emissions, mitigating food loss and waste (FLW) and reducing pollution due to packaging. Different studies have been carried out considering the reduction of CO2-emissions throughout the SC (Bortolini et al, 2015;Bozorgi et al, 2014;Camanzi et al, 2017;Gallo and Accorsi, 2017;Govindan et al, 2014;Haass et al, 2015;Musavi and Bozorgi-Amiri, 2017;Rahimi et al, 2017;. The cold SC has received special attention from researchers due to its high CO2-emissions generated during temperature-controlled storage and transportation activities (Adekomaya et al, 2016).…”
