Event Details

Prospective Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a method to assess the impacts of technologies or systems at a future point in time relative to the time at which the LCA is conducted.

The DF89 will start by setting the scene about prospective LCA and its use for agricultural systems highlighting its potential and limitations in the context of scenario modelling for supporting sustainability transitions. Methods and tools used to evaluate (innovative) technologies as well as future (societal) trajectories will be presented. A second block of presentations will then showcase how prospective LCA has been used to estimate the future environmental impacts of agricultural systems such as agrivoltaic installations or vertical farms. A third block of presentations will focus on the use of prospective LCA in modelling the future environmental impacts of the entire agricultural sectors, such as the environmental impacts of future diet shifts of a given population. Finally, current challenges in prospective LCA of agri-food systems and ways to solve them will be identified and discussed in a panel session.

The forum overall provides participants an in-depth understanding of prospective LCA and what its role is, also identifying future avenues for its use.
