From agricultural cultivation to food and bio-based products: a life cycle assessment perspectiv

The growth of population and per capita income has led to the indiscriminate use of resources, especially those of fossil origin, causing several ecological crises. Agricultural systems have developed over time in order to comply with the population growth. However, this agricultural development is...

description The growth of population and per capita income has led to the indiscriminate use of resources, especially those of fossil origin, causing several ecological crises. Agricultural systems have developed over time in order to comply with the population growth. However, this agricultural development is reaching a limit due to intense mechanization, widespread use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides, use of land and water. It is therefore important to find ways to make production more sustainable, while ensuring food security and human and ecosystem health, alleviating environmental impacts. The environmental concern about the use of non-renewable sources drew attention to the use of renewable biomass for the production of biofuels and bio-based products. Examples include first-generation (1G) feedstocks, such as starch crops (e.g., maize and wheat grains), which compete with food/feed markets. Agricultural and industrial processing residues, namely second-generation (2G) feedstocks, are also of interest for use in industrial fermentation processes, although, to date, they have fewer technological advantages in relation to 1G biomass.
