| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In order to assess life cycle environmental impacts of whole food supply chains of main agricultural products in Asian countries, life cycle inventory data were established for agricultural products (e.g., rice and palm oil) and related materials (e.g., chemical fertilizers). Asian research networks on agri-food life cycle assessment (LCA) were utilized during the data construction processes. In addition, applicability of biodiversity impact assessment within the framework of LCA was investigated. Scenario analysis was then conducted to estimate the changes in environmental impacts caused by the shift in social conditions. Specifically, fertilizer production scenarios, land-use change scenarios, and export and import scenarios were analyzed.
