LCA Food 2012 in Saint Malo, France! - Manifestations et colloques ...

KEYNOTE SESSION 8 th Int. Conference on LCA in the
Agri-Food Sector, 1-4 Oct 2012
At present, Round Table members are discussing how to obtain adequate data for assessment and streamlined
tools. The establishment of the ENVIFOOD Protocol and PCRs will allow the development of userfriendly
and affordable tools for assessment and communication of environmental impacts, thus reducing the
burdens of assessments, particularly for SMEs.
Future further interactions with the Round Table will be possible if PCRs and other deliverables are
drafted and made available for consultation.
