The objective of this study is to quantify the climate- and environmental impact venison production from six wild life species in Denmark: Red deer, roe fallow boar, mallard pheasant, compare it with commercially produced beef, pork chicken Denmark. method for quantifying applied original LCI data obtained complete cycle Danish all species, supplemented Ecoinvent® LCAFOOD on materials processes involved industrial meat.
