PARALLEL SESSION 4C: CROP PRODUCTION SYSTEMS 8 th Int. Conference on LCA in the
Agri-Food Sector, 1-4 Oct 2012
The recording of agricultural practices for each agricultural plot of a farm using decision-making tools or
traceability tools is priceless for the cooperatives. Some of them have already started to put it to good use in
their commercial relationships, meeting their clients’ need for environmental information about agricultural
products. The next challenge cooperatives dealing with their environmental impact will have to take up is
data confidentiality and environmental services payment. Under those two conditions, the high variability of
the impacts of agricultural raw materials will be reflected in the impacts of transformed products, and so will
their impacts improvements be reflected in the impacts of transformed products.
