To assess the different practices and contexts within agricultural systems, relevant for Environmental Footprinting in the Alpine Region, a comparison of national and regional data was conducted as part of the CEFoodCycle project.

Part 1 focuses on Agriculture, part 2 focuses on Processing to Retail.
