BACKGROUND Growing population demands for more animal protein products. Pork remains one of the traditional and relatively sustainable types of meats for human consumption. In this paper, life cycle assessment was performed using data from 12 pig farms. In parallel, a survey on the consumption of pork meat products was conducted analyzing responses from 806 pork meat consumers. This study aims to provide a quantitative calculation of six environmental footprints associated with the consumption of pork meat products in Serbia by analyzing data from pig farms and a pork meat consumption survey. RESULTS Results revealed that pork meat production is responsible for the emission of 3.50 kg CO2e /kg live weight, 16.1 MJe /kg, 0.151 mg R11e /kg, 31.257 g SO2e /kg, 55.030 g PO4e /kg and 3.641 kg 1.4 DBe /kg. Further calculations reveal that weekly emissions of various environmental potentials associated with an average consumer of pork meat products in Serbia are estimated at values of 4.032 kg CO2e /week, 18.504 MJe /week, 0.17435 mg R11e /week, 35.972 g SO2e /week and 63.466 g PO4e /week. CONCLUSION Results show that on one hand pork products are responsible for environmental production impacts that mainly occur on farms while on the other hand, consumption is characterized with high meat inclusion rates. As a leverage strategy it is recommended for the producers to concentrate on lowering the production impacts rather than trying to reach consumers for sustainability conciseness.

我们可以使用蒙特卡罗模拟将环境足迹与生产和消费联系起来吗？猪肉案例研究

背景不断增长的人口对更多动物蛋白产品的需求。猪肉仍然是供人类食用的传统且相对可持续的肉类之一。在本文中，生命周期评估使用来自 12 个养猪场的数据进行。同时，对猪肉制品消费情况进行了调查，分析了 806 名猪肉消费者的反应。本研究旨在通过分析养猪场的数据和猪肉消费调查，定量计算与塞尔维亚猪肉产品消费相关的六种环境足迹。结果 结果显示，猪肉生产造成 3.50 kg CO2e /kg 活重、16.1 MJe /kg、0.151 mg R11e /kg、31.257 g SO2e /kg、55.030 g PO4e /kg 和 3.641 kg 1.4 DBe 的排放. 进一步的计算表明，与塞尔维亚猪肉产品的普通消费者相关的各种环境潜力的每周排放估计值为 4.032 千克二氧化碳当量/周、18.504 兆焦耳/周、0.17435 毫克 R11e/周、35.972 克二氧化硫/周和 63.466 g PO4e/周。结论 结果表明，一方面猪肉产品对环境生产的影响主要发生在农场，另一方面，消费的特点是肉类包含率高。作为一种杠杆策略，建议生产商专注于降低生产影响，而不是为了可持续性的简洁性而试图接触消费者。本文受版权保护。版权所有。
