Ortenzi, F.; McAuliffe, G.A.; Leroy, F.; Nordhagen, S.; van Vliet, S.; del Prado, A; Beal, T. (Environmental Impact Assessment Review, 2023-09-01)

A recent analysis by Stylianou et al. (2021) estimated the impact of small dietary changes in the consumption of individual foods on human health and the environment, expressed as minutes of healthy life lost or gained ...

Carbon footprint of dairy goat production systems: A comparison of three contrasting grazing levels in the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park (Southern Spain)

Gutiérrez-Peña, R; Mena, Y.; Batalla, I.; Mancilla-Leytón, J.M. (Elsevier, 2019)

The main objective of this study was to analyze the carbon footprint (CF) of grazing dairy goat systems in a natural park according to their grazing level. A total of 16 representative grazing goat farms in southern Spain ...

Carbon footprint of transhumant sheep farms: accounting for natural baseline emissions in Mediterranean systems

Pardo, G.; Casas, R.; Casas, A.; Manzano, P. (International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment, 2023)

Purpose: Transhumance has rarely been analyzed through LCA approaches, and there is little evidence about its emissions level when conducted under different practices (by truck or on foot) or compared to sedentary livestock ...
