New Technology Tools and Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) Applied to a Sustainable Livestock Production

Abstract Agriculture 4.0, a combination of mechanical innovation and information communication technologies (ICT) using precision farming, omics advanced waste treatment techniques, can be used to enhance the biological potential animal crop productions reduce livestock gaseous emissions. In addition proteins being excellent nutritional ingredients for human diet, there is growing concern regarding amount energy spent converting vegetable crops into protein relevant environmental impacts. Using value chain analysis derived from neoclassic production theory extended industrial processing market, hypothesis tested concerns sustainability convenience different sources. The methodology implies use life cycle (LCA) evaluate efficiency diet ingredients. feeding products depend upon various factors, including cost reduction, consumer acceptance, incumbent industry response, civil society support, policy consensus, lower depletion natural resources, improved sustainable agri-food supply LCA. EU makers should aware these changes in market chains act proactively encourage alternative proteins.
