Carbon Footprint of tropical Amazon fruit jam from agroforestry

A cradle-to-grave Carbon Footprint of a jam made with tropical Amazon fruit is presented. The analysis is grouped into three general processes: upstream, core and downstream. In this preliminary study the global warming indicator is considered. Most of the data was gathered on the field by members of ArBio and can be classified as primary data. The cultivation and the jam manufacturing are done in Madre de Dios (Perù) and the product is imported to Italy by Equo Mercato in its final packaging. The present analysis is limited to the Italian market excluding Sicily and Sardinia.
