Supporting Data for: Footprint cohesion and prevalence of environmental impact categories in blue mussel aquaculture life cycle assessments

The dataset is used as a foundation for the scientific article Footprint cohesion and prevalence of environmental impact categories in blue mussel aquaculture life cycle assessments. Conducting a comprehensive assessment of environmental footprint is essential for defining any foods environmental impact. However, concentrating on too few environmental metrics may inadvertently lead to burden shifting and involuntary create greater harm. This dataset is a collection of all the existing literature related to the environmental footprint and Life Cycle Assessments of farmed blue mussel to determine its environmental footprint. This dataset is connected to the interdisciplinary research project SECURE (Novel Marine Resources for Food Security and Food Safety) which investigate the potential of low-trophic marine species. The overall goal of the project is to develop knowledge that enables sustainable food security. More information is available through https://en.uit.no/project/secure
