The 1st Life Cycle Assessment Conference for Agriculture and Food, on 23rd and 24th November will provide the opportunity for the food sector to understand the global environmental developments that will shape the environmental future of the industry.
Australian farms supply 93 percent of the nation's food needs while a further 60 percent of produce is sold offshore generating substantial export revenue for the country, about 13 percent of Australia’s A$300 billion in export earnings.
“Global concern about environmental impacts of the agricultural sector has increased dramatically during the past 10 years. Through LCA, the sector can not only improve performance but also ensure benchmarks for entry to specific markets are achieved,” said ALCAS president Rob Rouwette.
The AgriFood conference focuses very specifically on agricultural and food issues. For a more generalist view of LCA developments, consider combining this conference with LCM Australia.
