corsus will present a wide range of project results at the International Food Life Cycle Assessment Conference 2024 in Barcelona.
corsus congratulates life cycle assessment experts Dr Ulrike Eberle and Nico Mumm on the publication of their scientific paper on the “Reduction potential of German environmental food impacts due to a planetary health diet” in the renowned International Journal of Life Cycle Assessment.
Marius Rödder spent two months in May and June helping out on an organic farm in the south of Spain. In this interview, he explains what he did and what motivated him to temporarily swap the office for an orange grove.
Nico Mumm, contact person for life cycle assessments at corsus, attended the Spring School 2024 of the Départ de Sentier in Quebec in cooperation with CIRAIG to learn more about “Advanced open source inventory modelling”.
An initial, preliminary assessment of the environmental impact of the new DGE dietary recommendations shows: The recommendations are a step in the right direction. If they were followed consistently, they would make a significant contribution to reducing the climate footprint associated with nutrition, as well as the land and biodiversity footprint. However, the impact with regard to the scarcity-weighted water footprint could increase significantly.
In an interview with Tagesspiegel Backround, corsus argues in favour of the eco-footprint of food and calls for standardised rules for environmental labels in Germany.
The 10 Must Knows from biodiversity research were published in english today. Dr Ulrike Eberle was involved in updating the 10 Must Knows for the conservation of biodiversity.
Marius Rödder presented the methodological concept for a climate and environmental label at the DAFA conference “Agricultural Research on Climate Change” (11 to 14 March 2024 in Potsdam).
On 11 March 2024, Ulrike Eberle gave a presentation on the climate labelling of food and the database required for this at Bitkom’s Food Tech #7 roundtable in Berlin
corsus discusses with the members of the Together for Carbon Labelling (TCL) initiative the methodological concept for an environmental label for food developed as part of the EEKLIM project
