Life cycle assessment data of French agricultural organic products

This data were created during the research project ACV Bio, funded by the French agency for ecological transition (ADEME), and the French ministry for ecological transition. Its main objective was the production of Life Cycle Inventory (LCI) and Life Cycle Assessement (LCA) data on a variety of plant and animal products from French organic farming at the farm gate. The dataset produced contains 173 LCAs of organic crop and animal products. A diversity of production modes was covered for the majority of the products. LCA results for the Ecological Footprint 2.0, Cumulative energy demand, Land competition and Biodiversity loss characterization methods are available in this Excel File. LCA results are expressed both per kg of product and per ha of land occupied. The three non-LCA indicators – DCF, AEI and PTFI – are also available at the end of the Excel file. These data represent a diversity of LCA of French organic products but are not representative of national or regional average. Therefore, we recommend using these data to characterize part of the diversity of organic farming systems and some of their environmental impacts; to identify areas for improvement; to perform eco-design and sensitivity analysis; or/and to carry out system choices in a given context.
