Abstract

In the past agriculture has relied on the application of "end-of-pipe" or preventative solutions to environmental problems brought on by the management and production processes that it has adopted. This has led to outcomes and approaches that are single media and process or facility focused. The recent trends in the broader industrial sector have been towards the adoption of eco-efficiency approaches to environmental concerns that have a strong business focus on sustainability, look at multiple media and adopt a lifecycle and systems approach.
