Abstract

Agriculture, food industry and environment are among the concepts that because of their interaction nature cannot be surveyed. The present research aimed at studying TOMATO PASTE production through an application of LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT (LCA). A number of three tomato production stages, namely: post-harvest transportation and TOMATO PASTE production were assessed. System boundary included all production, transportation and application operations of inputs at different TOMATO PASTE production stages (cradle to TOMATO PASTE gate). Data were collected from one paste factory in ALBORZ Province and open-field tomato farms in the ALBORZ and EAST AZERBAIJAN provinces. In order to evaluate the greenhouse gas effect, CARBON FOOTPRINT (CF) index was employed. Two functional units of kg CO2-eq/ kg tomato and kg CO2-eq/ kg paste were taken into account. The average CF of the paste production was 3.02 kg CO2-eq/kg paste in which tomato production bore the highest share (28%) in the total emissions. CF related to of tomato production was 0.22 kg CO2-eq/ kg tomato. Electricity (irrigation) and chemical fertilizers had the highest emission share within the tomato production stage. A comparison of CFs between ALBORZ and EAST AZERBAIJAN provinces and between conventional and modern irrigation systems indicated that CFs in modern irrigation system in ALBORZ province is less pronounced than that in the other one. Irrigation and chemical fertilizers were found as hotspots in CF. Overall recommendations to decrease CF are farm integration and application of modern irrigation systems throughout the tomato production processes.
