Integration of Biodiversity Metrics in Life Cycle Assessment methodology
The global food system is an important contributor to the global environmental crises through resource-intensive practices, contributing to habitat destruction and biodiversity loss. Synthetic pesticides and fertilizers further lead to pollution, impacting air, water, and soil biodiversity. Addressing the urgent need for quantifying biodiversity loss in Life Cycle Assessment, Blonk and PBL connect a biodiversity metric to LCA, shedding light on the impact through an analysis of Dutch food consumption data.
