The “International Conference on Life Cycle Assessment in the Agri-Food Sector” (http://www.lcafood2010.uniba.it) that has taken place from September 22 to September 24, 2010 in Bari (Italy)—LCA Food 2010, in short—is the seventh in a series of events that include Brussels in 1996 and 1998, Göteborg in 2001 and 2007, Horsens in 2003, and Zurich in 2008. All the previous editions have been successful in terms of both participation and scientific quality of the presented papers, thus really contributing to build a reputation as a reference event for the Food LCA scientific community. More than 270 participants coming from the four continents have joined the event in Bari. Therefore, this edition has shown the highest degree of participation registered so far within the LCA Food conference series (Figs. 1 and 2). In organising this edition, the aim has been to keep the usual high scientific quality of the conference, while providing an occasion to involve the relevant stakeholders, including some key players from the agriculture, industry, and distribution sectors; the institutional bodies; and the households. This purpose has been achieved to the extent the event has received positive feedbacks from important economic actors, at both national and international level, that gave their support to the event as sponsor, as well as from the institutions that gave their patronage.

The “International Conference on Life Cycle Assessment in the Agri-Food Sector” (http://www.lcafood2010.uniba.it) that has taken place from September 22 to September 24, 2010 in Bari (Italy)—LCA Food 2010, in short—is the seventh in a series of events that include Brussels in 1996 and 1998, Göteborg in 2001 and 2007, Horsens in 2003, and Zurich in 2008. All the previous editions have been successful in terms of both participation and scientific quality of the presented papers, thus really contributing to build a reputation as a reference event for the Food LCA scientific community. More than 270 participants coming from the four continents have joined the event in Bari. Therefore, this edition has shown the highest degree of participation registered so far within the LCA Food conference series (Figs. 1 and 2). In organising this edition, the aim has been to keep the usual high scientific quality of the conference, while providing an occasion to involve the relevant stakeholders, including some key players from the agriculture, industry, and distribution sectors; the institutional bodies; and the households. This purpose has been achieved to the extent the event has received positive feedbacks from important economic actors, at both national and international level, that gave their support to the event as sponsor, as well as from the institutions that gave their patronage.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
