Life cycle assessment (LCA) was used to address the environmental benefit of using Equilibrium Modified Atmosphere Packaging (EMAP) at ambient temperature as an alternative to the use of conventional macro perforated packaging (MPP) and refrigeration in the strawberries’ farm to fork system. In this purpose, the environmental impact of strawberries’ storage conditions at household in macro perforated packaging put in ambient or cold condition were compared with that of EMAP used at ambient temperature. LCA was applied from production till consumer level taking into account food losses at each step as well as packaging production, disposal and usage benefit, if any, i.e. food losses reduction. Our findings confirmed that for highly perishable product, the production step is the main driver of environmental impacts. As such, the technology of preservation that permits to minimize losses leads to the lowest environmental impact in spite of its direct impacts. For short storage at household, well optimized EMAP system is a valuable alternative to MPP for both low and ambient temperatures while for long storage duration (3d), EMAP at ambient temperature could not substitute for MPP at refrigeration temperature. Finally, sensitivity analysis of results to the food losses parameters at both supermarket and household has revealed that conclusions regarding the best packaging strategy are highly sensitive to these parameters. The main conclusions of this study are that (i) EMAP could be, in several conditions, a valuable option compared to standard packaging strategies, (ii) it is needed to inform consumers on packaging functions in order to preserve EMAP benefit until consumption and (iii) better knowledge of food losses among the supply chain is needed to assess environmental impacts more precisely.

生命周期评估（LCA）用于解决在环境温度下使用平衡改性大气包装（EMAP）替代使用传统的宏观穿孔包装（MPP）和在草莓农场到叉子系统中冷藏的替代方法所带来的环境效益。为此，将草莓在常温或低温条件下放在家用多孔穿孔包装中的家庭储存条件对环境的影响与在环境温度下使用的EMAP的影响进行了比较。LCA是从生产到消费者的整个过程，同时考虑到每个步骤的食品损失以及包装生产，处置和使用的收益（如果有），即减少食品损失。我们的发现证实，对于高度易腐烂的产品，生产步骤是环境影响的主要驱动力。因此，尽管具有直接影响，但允许将损失降到最低的保护技术却可以将对环境的影响降到最低。对于家庭中短时间存储而言，经过优化的EMAP系统对于低温和环境温度都是MPP的有价值的替代品，而对于较长的存储时间（3d），环境温度下的EMAP不能替代制冷温度下的MPP。最后，对超市和家庭中食物损失参数结果的敏感性分析表明，关于最佳包装策略的结论对这些参数高度敏感。这项研究的主要结论是：（i）与标准包装策略相比，EMAP在某些情况下可能是一种有价值的选择，
