Updates on Life Cycle Assessment of the dairy sector
On this site we will compile updates related to Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and Carbon Footprint calculations of the dairy sector. The area of LCA is emerging at a faster pace and in order to make the "IDF Global Carbon Footprint Standard for the Dairy Sector" more current and relevant, this site will serve as a place to gather relevant information in order to make the IDF's guidance on LCA and Carbon Footprint more dynamic.
