Literature review on Consequential Life Cycle Assessment (CLCA) Research of Grain and Oilseed Crops

Categories: Research | Resources

This literature review is a survey of research that has been conducted on the impact of specific on-farm actions that could impact Greenhouse Gas emissions, known as Consequential Life Cycle Assessment (CLCA). It was conducted by the University of British Columbia, by graduate researcher Nicole Bamber under the supervision of Dr. Nathan Pelletier. For the complete literature review, see Bamber_et_al._Review_of_CLCA_research_of_grains_1.pdf

The CRSC is grateful to the Western Grains Research Foundation for funding this literature review.
