Project Overview
Equipping Australian agriculture with sustainability metrics
7 July 2023 – 1 August 2025
A joint project by AgriFutures Australia and Lifecycles to strengthen the data available to the agri-food sector for reporting sustainability metrics generated with life cycle assessment (LCA).
The project (LCAgMetrics) is part of a suite of projects being funded by the Federal Government’s Sustainability Reporting Uplift Grant Round. It will enable better availability and interoperability of data along agrifood supply chains to support the reporting and traceability of sustainability credentials.
