Parmesan Cheese

Agriculture and food manufacturing have a considerable effect on the environment emissions: holdings and farms play an important role about greenhouse gas emissions and water consumption. This study aims at evaluating the environmental impact of one of the most important Italian DOP product: organic Parmesan Cheese. Environmental performances of the whole dairy supply chain have been assessed according to the life cycle assessment approach (LCA). In this analysis Parmesan Cheese is made from an organic dairy farm in Emilia Romagna, which uses the milk from three different organic livestock productions. Organic agriculture is different from conventional; the major difference is represented by the avoidance of the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides made in chemical industry process. Organic agriculture uses organic fertilizers to encourage the natural fertility of the soil respecting the environment and the agro-system. In this case, life cycle approach is used to assess the carbon footprint and the water footprint of organic Parmesan Cheese considering the milk and cheese production. The object at this level is investigating the environmental impact considering the situation before some improvement changes. The functional unit is represented by 1 kg of organic Parmesan Cheese; inventory data refer to the situation in year 2017 and system boundaries consider the inputs related to the cattle and dairy farm until the ripening (included). The carbon footprint is investigated using IPCC 2013 Global Warming Potential (GWP) 100a method, developed by Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, and reported in kg of CO2eq. Otherwise, water footprint allows to measure the water consumption and in this work it is assessed using AWARE method (Available Water REmaining).

Abstract. The performance of manure management systems, on a component-by-component basis, at 11 Northeastern U.S. dairy farm concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFO) was quantified by semi-continuous monitoring for 15 months. Each collaborating farm (CF) had one or more of the following: solid-liquid separation (SLS), separated solids(SS) treatment by lime, rotary drum processing and windrow composting, anaerobic treatment by anaerobic digestion (AD), lagoons, and long-term storage(s). Operational and performance metrics included: temperature, pH, total solids (TS), volatile solids (VS), loading rates, and biogas production. Generally, most CFs had functional and well-operating systems based on expected and optimal operating conditions and sample constituent changes, although, sampling and monitoring limitations restricted complete performance assessments. Despite the limitations, differences in treatment effectiveness were noted, which were often related to influent conditions. Higher SLS solids capture efficiencies (typ. > 40%), and biogas production rates (= 3.8 m3 d-1 lactating cow equivalents (LCE)-1), were associated with more concentrated manure slurry influents [TS > 0.050 g g-1 wet basis (w.b.)]. Anaerobic digester configuration and the use of co-substrates also influenced anaerobic treatments. Generally, intensively managed ADs outperformed passively managed lagoons, and co-digestion enhanced biogas production (= 4.3 m3 d-1 LCE-1) and VS reductions (up to 48% w.b.), though co-digestion sometimes hampered process stability. The effectiveness of SS processing was also treatment dependent, with well-managed windrows yielding the greatest increases in TS concentrations (up to 0.600 g g-1 w.b.). Long-term storage of manure slurry had modest, non-significant, impacts on TS and VS concentrations, and pH. This work illustrated a range of manure management systems used on NE dairy farm CAFOs, parameterized their treatment of manure slurries and SS, and established a baseline for additional studies aimed at the capacity of these systems to mitigate emerging contaminant like antibiotic residues.
