| Use advice for data set | Users should apply this data within the boundaries of agricultural product production and crop production systems as outlined by the PAS2050 specification and LCA methods. Note that this data does not account for stages beyond the crop planting process, such as sales, consumer usage, disposal, and recycling. When utilizing this data, ensure that any additional environmental impacts related to these subsequent stages are assessed separately if required for the study's scope. |
| Technical purpose of product or process | The data set describes the carbon footprint associated with rice production in Shanghai, focusing on agricultural practices like land preparation, fertilization, pesticide application, and post-harvest processing of rice in the Chongming district. It is intended for use in the assessment of environmental impacts in agricultural and food production sectors, specifically targeting those who are concerned with the carbon footprint of cereal crops such as rice. |

| Technology description including background system | The carbon footprint of rice production was calculated with reference to PAS2050 specification and LCA method. PAS2050 stands for "Publicly Available Specification" (PAS), compiled by the British Standard Institution (BSI). It aims to make clear requirements for the evaluation of greenhouse gas emissions during the life cycle of products and services |

| Deviations from LCI method approaches / explanations | The carbon footprint calculation of rice production mainly refers to the PAS2050 specification and combines LCA methods. PAS2050, the full name Publicly Available Specification (PAS), the system boundary starts from the production of fertilizers and electricity, and the terminal boundary is the output of agricultural products and pollutants in the crop planting process, that is, there are two production systems, namely, agricultural production system and crop production system. | ||||
