  • Methods matter

    Open AccessFriederike Ziegler, Peter Tyedmers et al.ARTICLEGlobal Environmental Change2022References: 2

    Making food systems more sustainable is one of humanity’s largest challenges. Over two decades of life cycle assessment research on the environmental performance of food systems has helped to inform efforts to address this challenge. In recent years, there has been much interest in aggregating the results of these studies at scales of national production, dietary patterns, and future food scenarios. The process of comparing impacts of diverse pro…

    Open AccessMichael F Tlusty, Peter Tyedmers et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    First paragraph: Aquaculture is receiving increased attention from a variety of stakeholders. This is largely due to its current role in the global food system of supplying more than half of the seafood consumed, and also because the industry continues to steadily expand (UN Food and Agriculture Organization 2018). A recent article in Environmental Research Letters, 'Feed conversion efficiency in aquaculture: do we measure it correctly?', by Fry …

  • Does aquaculture add resilience to the global food system?

    Open AccessMax Troell, Rosamond L Naylor et al.ARTICLEProceedings of the National…2014

    Aquaculture is the fastest growing food sector and continues to expand alongside terrestrial crop and livestock production. Using portfolio theory as a conceptual framework, we explore how current interconnections between the aquaculture, crop, livestock, and fisheries sectors act as an impediment to, or an opportunity for, enhanced resilience in the global food system given increased resource scarcity and climate change. Aquaculture can potentia…

  • An Exploration of the Relationship between Socioeconomic and Well‐Being Variables and Household Greenhouse Gas Emissions

    Open AccessJeffrey Wilson, Jeffrey D Wilson et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2013

    This research reports on a multivariate analysis that examined the relationship between direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and socioeconomic and well‐being variables for 1,920 respondents living in Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada, using results from the Halifax Space‐Time Activity Research Project. The unique data set allows us to estimate direct GHG emissions with an unprecedented level of specificity based on household ene…

  • Proposed Local Ecological Impact Categories and Indicators for Life Cycle Assessment of Aquaculture

    Open AccessJennifer S Ford, Nathan Pelletier et al.ARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2012

    In this study we discuss impact categories and indicators to incorporate local ecological impacts into life cycle assessment (LCA) for aquaculture. We focus on the production stages of salmon farming—freshwater hatcheries used to produce smolts and marine grow‐out sites using open netpens. Specifically, we propose two impact categories: impacts of nutrient release and impacts on biodiversity. Proposed indicators for impacts of nutrient release ar…

    Tight coupling to ecosystems and dependence on common-pool resources threaten fisheries and aquaculture.

  • Life Cycle Assessment of Frozen Tilapia Fillets From Indonesian Lake‐Based and Pond‐Based Intensive Aquaculture Systems

    Open AccessNathan Pelletier, Peter TyedmersARTICLEJournal of Industrial Ecology2010

    We used life cycle assessment to evaluate a subset of the cradle‐to‐destination‐port environmental impacts associated with the production, processing, and transportation of frozen, packaged Indonesian tilapia ( Oreochromis niloticus ) fillets to ports in Chicago and Rotterdam. Specifically, we evaluated the cumulative energy use; biotic resource use; and global warming, acidifying, and eutrophying emissions at each life cycle stage and in aggrega…

  • Fueling Global Fishing Fleets

    Peter H Tyedmers, Peter Tyedmers et al.ARTICLEAMBIO2005References: 12

    Over the course of the 20th century, fossil fuels became the dominant energy input to most of the world's fisheries. Although various analyses have quantified fuel inputs to individual fisheries, to date, no attempt has been made to quantify the global scale and to map the distribution of fuel consumed by fisheries. By integrating data representing more than 250 fisheries from around the world with spatially resolved catch statistics for 2000, we…
