1 Life cycle assessment: How does New Zealand agriculture compare internationally? Stewart Ledgard 1,2 1 AgResearch Ruakura 2 NZ Life Cycle Management Centre, Massey University
2 Outline of talk 1. What is LCA? 2. Why use LCA in NZ? 3. How do we compare internationally? - dairy - sheep meat/lamb - beef 4. What s happening internationally?
3 1. What is Life Cycle Assessment? Total resource use or environmental emissions of a product from cradle-to-grave Based on international standards (e.g. ISO 14040, 14044)
4 2. Why use LCA in NZ? Market drivers for environmental information and eco-labels: Food miles Carbon footprints for UK supermarkets Now extending to other environmental impacts e.g. France EU Product Environmental Footprinting
5 3. Carbon footprint of milk (to farm gate) CO 2,CH 4,N 2 O CO 2,CH 4,N 2 O CH 4,N 2 O,CO 2 CH 4,N 2 O,CO 2,refrigerants Extraction and delivery of raw materials and energy resources Production & use of Inputs Fertilizers Capital Electricity Fuel Off-farm level Off-farm grazing of heifers Off-farm crop feeds e.g. Maize silage PKE Farm level Dairy shed Meat 1 kg milk Total GHG emissions allocated between milk & live-weight (LW) sold for meat based on feed requirements for milk & LW production [c % to milk]
6 Carbon footprint of milk (to farm gate) Review of 77 studies internationally: kg CO 2 equiv./kg milk - most reported as fat- and protein-corrected milk (FPCM) Summary of 7 New Zealand studies: kg CO 2 equiv./kg FPCM BUT large variation in methodology across the international studies, making comparisons difficult
7 Carbon footprint of milk (FAO; Opio et al. 2013) Carbon footprint of milk (kg CO 2 eq/kg FCPM)
8 Carbon footprint of milk from average dairy farms in NZ and Sweden (SE) Carbon footprint of milk (kg CO 2 eq/kg FCPM) Flysjo et al Total: NZ 1.00 kg CO 2 -equivalent/kg FPCM Sweden 1.16 kg CO 2 -equivalent/kg FPCM

11 Carbon footprint of sheep meat/lamb (to farm gate) Review of 10 studies internationally: 5 33 kg CO 2 eq./kg live-weight Summary of 3 New Zealand studies: 5 8 kg CO 2 eq./kg live-weight BUT large variation in methodology across the international studies, making comparisons difficult

21 Summary: Life Cycle Assessment : Accounts for all contributing GHG sources Can cover a product s life cycle or to farm-gate Carbon Footprint of NZ versus international products: Dairy amongst lowest globally Sheep Beef : traditional beef is towards lower end of range Variation between farms, systems, type of feed input Future: Harmonization of methods (e.g. LEAP) Focus on multiple environmental impacts to avoid trade-offs
