Arcadia project – the Italian LCA Database: what opportunities for businesses, public administration and research
Since 2020, our research group has been collaborating with some Enea researchers, sharing the data used for the LCA evaluation of farm-gate milk production, with the aim of creating a database of Italian products that allow a more precise and local LCA evaluation .
Further information on the ARCADIA project can be found here and on the Italian LCA database
We have been collaborating on the evaluation of enviornmental sustainability and envionmental impact of dairy farms with Prof. Silvio Franco
We have been collaborating with the research group of Prof. Andrea Vitali for studing a semplified way for environmental impact assessment of milk production.
