| During the last years the demand and use of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) for calculating and comparing the ecological impacts of agricultural products has increased. However, within LCA important environmental impacts of agriculture, for instance biodiversity, soil quality or animal welfare are considered inadequately or stay unaccounted. In the case of biodiversity agriculture is considered as the main driver for the worldwide biodiversity loss. Thus, biodiversity cannot be neglected in future agricultural LCAs. Even though there is no widely accepted approach yet, a lot of research has been undertaken to solve the question how biodiversity can be assessed in the LCA framework. Within a literature review eleven studies with biodiversity assessment... |

| Anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have increased since the pre-industrial era, driven largely by economic and population growth, and are now higher than ever. This has led to atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide that are unprecedented in at least the last 800 000 years. Their effects, together with those of other anthropogenic drivers, have been detected throughout the climate system and are extremely likely to have been the dominant cause of the observed warming since the mid-20th century. |

| Organic production is perceived by consumers as being superior in animal welfare and sustainability and the demand for organic pork products is slowly increasing. Within the past ten years a variety of husbandry and management systems have been developed across the EU, ranging from farms with pigs outdoors all year round using local breeds to farms with housed pigs having concrete outside runs and using conventional breeds (CorePIG, Rousing et al, 2011). So far, mainly clinical parameters have been used to describe the health situation on organic pig farms, identifying some key problems, such as weaning diarrhoea and piglet mortality. Organic pig production is - amongst others - characterised through a holistic approach based on the EU Regulation (EC) No... |

| This study examined the environmental impact of the three common organic pig husbandry systems, indoor (n = 24), partly outdoor (n = 30), and outdoor (n = 10), in eight European countries. Global warming (GWP), acidification (AP), and eutrophication potential (EP) was assessed per 1000 kg pig live weight on 64 farrow-to-finish pig production chains (cradle to farm gate). GWP, AP, and EP varied greatly, and the most important source was feed production, followed by housing. GWP did not differ between systems (p = 0.934), but AP in indoor systems and EP in outdoor systems were higher than in partly outdoor systems (p = 0.006 and p = 0.010, respectively). The higher AP in indoor systems can mainly be explained by NH3 arising from manure spreading, while... |

| Conclusion ❯ Sur l'ensemble de la rotation des cultures, le travail réduit du sol a produit près de 20 % en moins d'émissions de gaz à effet de serre par hectare que le labourage, et près de 75 % de carbone en plus a été stocké à long terme. ❯ Aucune différence entre les variantes d'utilisation des engrais. ❯ Les émissions de N2O produites par le sol sont responsables de 25 à 63 % des émissions de gaz à effet de serre (en fonction des cultures). Le reste provient de la combustion d'énergies fossiles. ❯ Dans le travail réduit du sol, la séquestration du carbonecompense les émissions de gaz à effet de serre produites par le travail des cultures (sur l'ensemble de la rotation des cultures). Cette méthode de culture présente donc un bilan climatique... |

| There is a large and growing body of literature comparing the environmental performance of organic and conventional farming in specific settings, either on farm or product level. However, how one assesses ‘environmental performance’ is a complex and multifaceted question, and one-dimensional indicators tend to neglect key aspects of production systems. This chapter evaluates a number of multidimensional methods of assessment, including Life Cycle Assessment, Productivity Analysis, multi-criteria assessment approaches and food systems modelling. It is concluded that the assessment of environmental performance must go beyond the level of production, and address consistency and sufficiency aspects that emerge at the consumption stage. The organic sector has a... |

| With sustainability becoming an increasingly important issue, several tools have been developed, promising to assess sustainability of farms and farming systems. However, looking closer at the scope, the level of assessment and the precision of indicators used for impact assessment we discern considerable differences between the sustainability impact assessment tools at hand. The aim of this paper is therefore to classify and analyse six different sustainability impact assessment tools with respect to the assessment level, the scope and the precision. From our analysis we can conclude that there is a trade-off between scope and precision of these tools. Thus one-size-fits-all solutions with respect to tool selection are rarely feasible. Furthermore, as the... |

| Climate change increases the number of risks for agricultural production in arid and semiarid regions, especially in Western Africa. Smallholder farmers are particularly vulnerable to climate change risks. These risks affect their socioeconomic situation, as well as the local food sector value chain in general. Therefore, their food security is threatened if smallholder farming structures do not adapt to them. Thus, effective climate change adaptation measures for smallholders are essential and should be implemented without delay. However, success hinges on the acceptance of the promoted measures among various stakeholders. Thus, their acceptance needs to be assessed before promoting. The project “The potential of sustainable land-use systems to promote... |

| Zusammenfassung Während der Jahre 2009-2011 wurden am FiBL über verschiedene Projekte Grundlagen zur betrieblichen und produktbezogenen Energie- und Klimabilanzierung erarbeitet. Daraus wurde ein Modellansatz entwickelt, mit dem der Energieverbrauch und die Treibhausgasemissionen (THG-Emissionen) auf Betriebsebene abgeschätzt werden können. Aus diesen Vorarbeiten ist 2011 und 2012 das FiBL-Betriebsmodell entstanden, mit dem es möglich ist: 1. detaillierte Klimabilanzen von Schweizer Biobetrieben durchzuführen, 2. zwischenbetriebliche Vergleiche anzustellen und 3. die Auswirkungen von betrieblichen Veränderungen oder Anpassungsstrategien auf die THG-Emissionen zu berechnen. Die grosse Stärke des Betriebsmodells ist seine hohe Flexibilität in Bezug... |
