What is the LCA?
The National Association of Wheat Growers, in collaboration with the National Wheat Foundation and U.S. Wheat Associates, commissioned a Wheat Life Cycle Assessment to assess the environmental impact of wheat production across the United States.
This study was conducted by expert researchers from Texas A&M University AgriLife Research and Colorado State University’s AgNext Institute, the study provides a detailed overview of environmental improvements in wheat farming practices from 1978 to 2018.
The study highlights substantial reductions in greenhouse gas emissions, energy consumption, water usage, land use, and soil erosion on a per-bushel basis over the past several decades.
