    Environmental performance of small ruminants supply chains 2017

    There is a wide variety of small ruminant production systems globally. This diversity means that there is a great variety of production systems with different production intensities and purposes within and among countries. The production of small ruminant’s products, is associated with significant use of natural resources such as land, water or nutrients and contributes to environmental issues such as GHG, loss of nutrient to water and air and biodiversity loss. The assessment of these impacts, however, is challenging due to the internationalisation of small ruminants supply chains as well as the lack of data and harmonisation of scientific methods. Conscious of these challenges, the LEAP Partnership established in 2014 a technical advisory group to develop comprehensive guidelines on the assessment of the environmental performance of small ruminants supply chains.

    Guidelines for assessment
    2015

    The methodology and guidance developed here can be used by stakeholders in all countries and across the entire range of large ruminant production systems. In developing the guidelines, it was assumed that the primary users will be individuals or organizations with a good working knowledge of life cycle assessment. The main purpose of the guidelines is to provide sufficient definition of calculation methods and data requirements to enable consistent application of LCA across differing large ru minant supply chains
