Agri-footprint in SimaPro and openLCA
AFP 3.0 modelling correctly adjusts to crops in this scenario. | ||
Model does not include/consider fallow land or failed crops (FAOstat yield data account only for area harvested (FAO, 2017)) |
Figure 1: Scenario 1 - One-year cycle or perennial crops
AFP modelling overestimates yearly land occupation. | ||
Model does not include/consider fallow land or failed crops (FAOstat yield data account only for area harvested (FAO, 2017)). |
Figure 2: Scenario 2: Multiple crop cycles for the same crop in one year
AFP modelling overestimates yearly land occupation. | ||
Model does not include/consider fallow land or failed crops (FAOstat yield data account only for area harvested (FAO, 2017)). | ||
L1 should be allocated to A and B. |
Figure 3: Scenario 3: Crop rotation, multiple crop cultivation on same land parcel within one year
AFP modelling overestimates yearly land occupation. | ||
Model does not include/consider fallow land or failed crops (FAOstat yield data account only for area harvested (FAO, 2017)). | ||
L1 should be allocated to A and B. | ||
AFP uses 5-year average crop yields, ensuring that crops cultivated between two harvest years are correctly considered if reported as per FAOstat guidelines. |
