The AGRIBALYSE program of INRAE and ADEME provides a database and a reference system for the environmental analysis of food products. The data is based on the Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) method. This method provides indicators of the environmental impacts of products, including all the stages involved in the manufacture of products (from field to plate) and taking into account various environmental issues (climate, water, air, soil, etc.). Depending on the context of use, additional indicators must complement the AGRIBALYSE indicators (e.g. indicators of biodiversity, animal well-being, nutritional quality, etc.). The data is currently available via life cycle analysis software (SimaPro and openLCA) and on the GLAD platform. Data in simplified format, in free access, available on September 29, the day of the AGRIBALYSE presentation conference.
