Relevant technical-scientific issues related to
SALSA implementation
Defining the Road Map for a common
understanding
Basic concepts, methods and actions

Relevant technical-scientific issues
related to SALSA implementation
A.
The life cycle thinking and management
approach: main features
(Cesare Zanasi – Cosimo Rota)
Life Cycle Thinking
Life Cycle Management
Definition
“...is the organizational dimension of the life cycle
approaches…LCM uses various procedural and
analytical tools for different applications and integrates
economic, social and environmental aspects into an
institutional context”.
Life Cycle Management
LCM tools:
Integrated Management Systems (IMS)
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA)
Carbon Footprinting (CF)
Life Cycle Design (LCD)
Life Cycle Costing (LCC)
Environmental Product Declaration (PE)
Corporate Reporting (CR)
Responsible Supply Chain Management (RSCM)
Life Cycle Assessment
Definition
LCA is a compilation and evaluation of the inputs,
outputs and other interventions and the current or
potential environmental aspects and impacts
throughout a product’s life cycle (i.e., “cradle to grave”).

Life Cycle Costing
Definition
...is as an assessment of all costs associated with
the life cycle of a product that are directly covered by
any one or more of the actors in the product life cycle
(supplier, producer, user/consumer, EOL-actor)”.

Focus on data inventory – relations with
stakeholders
Focus on data inventory/
relations with stakeholders
Relevant issues
1. Define strategies to enhance the “willingness” to
cooperate in data collection and management;
encouraging collaboration among stakeholders
Focus on data inventory/
relations with stakeholders
Relevant issues
2. Chain representativeness in terms of :
•
Product impact on LAC and EU sustainability
•
Existing production systems
•
Stakeholders inclusion (chain boundary)
Focus on data inventory/
relations with stakeholders
Relevant issues
3. Identification of:
•
The functional unit for the analysis (final
poduct considered in our analysis) (1 Litre of
bio fuel, 1 kg of soymeal – beef carcass?)
•
The boundaries of the analysis.
Focus on data inventory/
relations with stakeholders
Possible actions
1. Enhance collaboration through appropriate sociocultural analysis of the stakeholders and definition
of communication strategies and institutions
involvement
2. Clear understanding of the different partners’ role
during the process of implementing the LCM tools
Focus on data inventory/
relations with stakeholders
Possible actions
3. Food chain choice:
•
•
balance chains number and chain boundaries
choice of supply chains including one or more of
the following:
•
One soya- beef integrated chain (EU beef)
•
Soya for bio-fuels (different production systems)
•
Beef in different relevant production systems (internal
/international markets)
Focus on data inventory/
relations with stakeholders
Possible actions
3. Data Inventory: in the light of previous considerations:
•
Definition of a “shopping list”
•
Evaluation of its relevance and collection feasibility
•
When needed, integrate missing data with already
existing data bases
Relevant technical-scientific issues
related to SALSA implementation
C.
ICTs architecture definition,
ICTs adoption and implementation
ICTs architecture definition,
ICTs adoption and implementation
Relevant issues
• How
to
make
it
possible
for
the
different
stakeholders to adopt, and use in a collaborative way,
the ICTS solutions provided?
• In
particular roles of farmers (how to
farmers adoption of ICTs?)
support
ICTs architecture definition,
ICTs adoption and implementation
Possible actions
• WEB solution design according to stakeholders needs
and characteristics (technical cultural etc..) .
• WEB solution adoption: overcoming cultural technical
and economic barriers
• WEB architecture for an
communication to end users
easy
and
effective
ICTs architecture definition,
ICTs adoption and implementation
Possible actions
This implies
• different strategies for different stakeholders relations
• effects on the supply chain organization (who is doing
what?) when managing the software for the supply chain
management?
Relevant technical-scientific issues
related to SALSA implementation
D.
REGULATION AND
STANDARDS DATA BASE
National Latin American and
EU Policies and Regulations
• Most of the material is already existing and we need
to organize it to fulfill SALSA goals
•the contribution of SALSA partners, IP and AB
members, twinned projects as sources of information
will be important
• The WP2 and WP5 leaders should provide a
framework for data collection (a shopping list)
OTHERS
Twinning with other projects – possible actions
• Exchange of data
• Exchange of information (e.g. Innovation data base
contents – regulation and quality standards
• Exchange of experiences on theoretical,
methodological and field activites related to the
project implementation
