“…In contrast, there is a dearth of studies quantifying avoidable food loss due to cosmetic standards and its embedded greenhouse gas emissions. Estimates at this life cycle stage are usually based upon a small number of studies carried out on just a few crops and applied to entire regions (Gustavsson et al, 2011), although others are more locally focused (Franke et al, 2016;Hartikainen et al, 2018). Some studies omit losses in the production phase entirely due to uncertainties (Monier et al, 2010).…”

“…Therefore, the data attribute drawback in actual exploitation volume would weaken the analysis accuracy. Another field-based residue for networkbased accessibility and logistical analysis could be the yet unexploited residual biomasses in vegetable production (Franke et al, 2016;Lehto et al, 2018;Pahkala et al, 2009).…”

Grass biomass originating from marginal agricultural land unsuitable for food production can be utilised in variety of bio-based productions. The key profitability constraints for such productions are regional availability and transport costs. The aim of this paper is to methodologically test open access agricultural field parcel data – enabled by the EU INSPIRE directive – integrated with the road network in measuring biomass accessibility and optimising collection and transport using geographic information system (GIS) technology in two Finnish case areas. The analytical framework applies closest facility and vehicle routing analyses for tractor and truck transport scenarios. The key finding is that the area of field parcels and the amount of biomass accumulating within an observed area are not the only important factors influencing transport efficiency: cost-effectiveness of collection routes can be equally high in regions with scarce and abundant biomass areas.
