When to use

Use Agribalyse when conducting life cycle assessments for food products or sustainability reporting within the food sector, particularly if you are working with French data. It is also helpful outside France when no local database provides relevant food products or agricultural processes.

Limitations

Agribalyse focuses mainly on France, meaning its relevance to other countries may be limited, especially if the food production processes differ significantly.
