    Sammanfattning : Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from food production represent 19-29% of global anthropogenic GHG and the dairy sector alone is estimated to contribute around 3%. This thesis assessed GHG estimates for milk production (i.e. milk carbon footprint (CF)) in a life cycle perspective. LÄS MER

  7. 25. Media processes for content production : Studies of structures and climate impacts

    Författare :Malin Picha Edwardsson; Johan Stenberg; Nils Enlund; Åsa Moberg; Gunnar Nygren; KTH; []
    Nyckelord :media; work processes; content production; LCA; climate impacts; SRA - ICT; SRA - Informations- och kommunikationsteknik;

    Sammanfattning : The business environment in which media companies exist today is rapidly changing. Many media companies are in the process of positioning themselves to this ongoing change and to finding their place in the new media landscape. A process of change creates an opportunity to optimize work processes on different levels. LÄS MER
