“…In this way, it represents a first means of expanding the real freedom that people enjoy [61] (p. 3), being challenging especially in factor-driven economies [71,72], characterized by high levels of poverty and not very favorable environmental conditions. As a consequence, in the third world, the relationship between environmental quality and basic needs, including sufficient food concern, is generally negative [73,74].…”

Sustainable development theory is formed around its major task of balancing the performances of economic, social and environmental sectors. The main aim of this integrative process is to offer consistent and healthy national progress. Besides the theory and the recommendations (abundant in the academic literature, but also in the political discourse) based on its main dimensions, the reality apparently reveals an irregular evolution of the economic, social and environment sectors' results. Observation of this evolution may represent a support for both mainstream sustainable

Logistics is one of the sectors that is evolving in parallel with Industry 4.0, which refers to the integration of new technologies, information, and agents, with the common goal of improving the efficiency and responsiveness of a logistics management system. The warehouse is an essential link in logistics management, a factor of competitiveness, and a link between the partners of the entire logistics chain. It has become essential to manage warehouses effectively and to allocate their resources efficiently. The digitalization of warehouses is currently one of the research topics of Logistics 4.0. This work presents a methodology of the digital transition of warehouse management, which consists of four main steps: the diagnosis of a warehouse to identify the different processes, the degree of involvement of the employees, a calculation of the degree of maturity to identify the new technology and means of data transfer, and the associated software for the collection of information and the methods of data processing. This digital transition methodology was applied to an industrial company. The results obtained allowed for the improvement of all the indicators measuring the performance of the warehouse on economic, social, and environmental levels.

“…Over the last two decades, there have been significant advances in the analytical tools, inventories, and resources available to conduct LCAs (UNEP, 2019). The use of LCA within biofuel-related policies, rules, and regulations has increased due to growing food and fuel sustainability challenges (Bhat, 2017;Sonnemann et al, 2018). The use of LCA extends beyond the energy sector, some nations, such as the European Union (EU), legislatively support [COM(2003)302] use of LCA as a sustainable development strategy across sectors.…”

A life cycle analysis (LCA) primer for the agricultural community

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Consumer demand for sustainably produced agricultural products is increasing. One approach that can be used to evaluate and compare product sustainability is to conduct a life cycle analysis (LCA). The term LCA is broadly used to describe a suite of analytical resources and standardized methods. Life cycle analyses are a transdisciplinary tool which can and are used by all professions but work best when conducted by teams with diverse skills and backgrounds. The objective of this paper is to provide a primer on LCAs for the agricultural community and for LCA practitioners unfamiliar with agronomy. Agricultural LCAs can differ greatly because agricultural products have multiple end uses, complex socioeconomic and environmental trade-offs, and can be generated using a variety of different practices, resources, and production systems. Through worldwide agricultural marketing, intricate agronomic supply chains and support systems have been developed to produce, store, and distribute agricultural products. In many situations, the production practices are not linked to the products consumers
