- W1873912522 abstract "The aim of this project was to develop measures, criteria and document-based arguments for sustainability of Finnish local food. A framework was designed during the first phase of the work to assess the sustainability of local food production. The framework included the following dimensions: nutritional value of food, use of local resources in food production, eutrophication, ecotoxic and toxic impacts of food production, impacts of food production on biodiversity and ecosystem services, climate change and socioeconomic sustainability of production (consumption chains). Regarding socio-economic sustainability, only specific aspects were considered, including local supply security, social and economic networks, innovative entrepreneurship, employment, work welfare, culture, animal welfare and length of productionconsumption chains. In the second phase the framework was tested for ecological sustainability of local food chains from three different regions in Finland, from the southern coast to the southern inland region, reaching the central inland region. The basis of sustainable use of resources and sensitivity to environmental impacts in the three regions were evaluated according to geography and the context of consumption-production. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based product-specific indicators for ecological sustainability were tested for 14 local food chains (included 38 companies) in the three regions. In each region, typical local products of high commercial interest were tested and chain-specific data were collected directly from stakeholders. Impacts of climate change, and eutrophication and ecotoxicity impacts were included. All chains covered phases “from field to grocery”, i.e. primary production, processing, packaging and transport phases, including the grocery store, commercial kitchen or local food establishment. In addition, factors that affected farm biodiversity were evaluated using a questionnaire provided to farmers. That focused on environmental activities carried out on-farm. An argument bank was constructed in the third phase. The arguments were based on identification of actual tasks that should be undertaken to enhance ecological and socio-economic sustainability of a local product. The LCA based indicators were included for quantitative measures to be used to monitor the level of sustainability. For those tasks, where quantitative indicators were missing, a qualitative description was used to document activities. The aim of this phase was to support ecological sustainability of local food enterprises in terms of communication and marketing. In addition to the production side, consumer-focused versions of arguments were used for local food consumers in order to help them specify their demands for food sustainability. The nutritional value of food represented the basis for assessment of ecological sustainability, in accordance with the national nutrition guidelines. Sustainability of local resource use was directly linked to land use, efficiency of resource use and side flows, accuracy of nutrient recycling and utilization of local energy sources. Bringing seasonal food into play provides unique opportunities for local food production. An overview of the LCA based results showed that some of the local products induced higher, and other lower, impacts than similar products in an average Finnish production chain. Eutrophication and biodiversity impacts of local food are particularly dependent on sensitivity of the local environment. The results need to be carefully assessed in the context of local circumstances. Local food production represents many opportunities to support biodiversity. A simple survey in this study indicated that local food producers could become more interested in environmental matters. In general terms, local food has good potential to support ecosystem services through biodiversity and recycling of resources. Chemical use and impact on sustainability of local food production ranged from insignificant to highly hazardous. Chemical control will be used only if preventative measures do not adequately suffice for plant health and crop according to IPM. Product-specific impacts of climate change on local food were chain specific; typically animal-" @default.
