Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Organic Fruit Orchards: GWP Analysis by Impact Category

Reducing emissions in organic fruit production: GWP analysis across farming systems

or

Detail description

This document details best practices for reducing greenhouse gas emissions on organic fruit farms, focusing on estimating emissions using the Global Warming Potential (GWP) indicator. It analyzes key impact categories—planting, farming operations, irrigation, fertilisers, agrochemicals, fertiliser use, transport, and waste—across three crop species and at least three farms per species. Emissions are reported in kg CO2eq per kg of product and per hectare. Funded by the European Union and available via EU-FarmBook.
