LCA model development for Manitoba

Published at July 18, 2009 in Life cycle assessment (LCA), Agriculture, GHG standards, GHG measurement, Carbon footprint and GHGm.

Recently GHGm was awarded a contract to develop and implement a life cycle analysis (LCA) model for the primary agriculture sectors in Manitoba, work done in cooperation with Farms.com.

This project offers GHGm an opportunity to demonstrate its extensive knowledge in agriculture, life cycle analysis, and environmental management, which the firm holds. Expert knowledge in production agriculture, agronomy, soils, atmospheric sciences, environmental standards (e.g. ISO 14040), and life cycle analysis software (SimaPro) are but few of the expertise and tools applied in the work.

The Manitoba agriculture LCA project aims to enhance the value and sustainability of the local agriculture industry, through the systemic analysis and assessment of the production systems using a comprehensive life-cycle approach.
